We were talking in Jasmine's garden thread about replanted Tulips that have been used in pot displays coming back if you plant them out instead of throwing them away. Here's a few of the ones that I've got popping up around the garden, some of them taken a couple of years or so to flower properly again, the first year they usually just make leaves & I only expect about 50% or so to make it. And then I get odd ones coming up that I don't even remember planting.  Jillyx Your Tulips are smashing Jilly and it's heartening to know that they can be saved and don't have to be thrown away. I think I'll plant mine out in a bed at the allotment and see what happens. I don't have room in the garden for them.  Gorgeous Jilly....I seem to have lost most of my tulips this year....  The Viburnum smells absolutely divine when I walk past it...  RF |

I've missed these lovely photos whilst I've been busy gardening, and then had the PC hiccup yesterday  Auricula those displays are wonderful, like a tulip sweety shop  I do well with my deep planted tulips, they come up every year and some are quite ancient now, one got moved when we widened the drive back over ten years ago, and it came up and flowered again this year! I've never treated them as annuals, think you are right and it's a myth propagated by bulb companies! RF can you request that Proboards hurry up and introduce the scratch and sniff with V5 please?  The Viburnum smells absolutely divine when I walk past it... RF x Tig |

Lovely tulips Jilly, your Princess Irene are more pinkish than mine were. Mine are just over now. That's them all for another year.

One of the last rhodos to come into flower in our garden...  It was a little stick that I bought just before we moved down here and it's getting huge! |

It was a good buy Jasmine, the pink really stands out against the dark leaves.

Thanks LG - the funny thing is I'm sure it was more creamy pink when it was a baby!
