Yesterday, Anna asked whether we grew tulips on the allotment.
We do, so I thought that I would share some photos as at the moment they are pumping out plenty of colour.
The plot tulips are mainly planted in our pear tree bed.

It doesn't matter they were a cheap, bumper pack, look at the joy they bring with their bountiful colour! Shame they are so short lived though, but oh! so worth the while.
ReplyDeleteIt is a shame that they are short lived, Deborah - a trait they share with many flowers.
DeleteThese are so beautiful and as you say, cheerful. We live on the pictures down here as tulips are difficult to grow for us. I like the second shot best, a garden in spring. The flowers massed. A home garden in spring.
ReplyDeleteI’m glad to share my tulips with you, Jane
DeleteI love tulips and your's look lovely, especially in contrast to the wild setting under the trees. Unfortunately our allotment site has just banned any flowers unless they are edible : All the best - Steve
ReplyDeleteWhat a ridiculous ruling, Steve. Have the decision makers not heard of biodiversity. Growing cut flowers on allotment plots is deeply rooted - no pun intended - in history
DeleteYou aren't kidding you have tulips. They are gorgeous! Love those colors, they are so cheerful.
ReplyDeleteWe certainly do, Lisa.
DeleteWow ! Your Tulips are super dooper ! :) What a lovely display !
ReplyDeleteThanks Debs
DeleteThey are wonderful with the pear tree blossom. They look like the good old fashioned ‘Darwin’ hybrids that just keep coming back every year.
ReplyDeleteThey just keep bulking up, Brian
DeleteOh thanks for sharing your allotment tulips Sue. I wasn't sure from your previous post where they were growing. Just goes to show that cheap and cheerful is often as good as those more highly priced bulbs. Interested to read Steve's comments. I've not eaten them but I believe that tulip flowers are edible so he could grow them at his allotment. Don't agree with those rules!
ReplyDeleteNeither do I Anna. Traditionally flowers have always been grown on allotments. It seems a very arbitrary ruling.
DeleteWhat a very pretty post - looking beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Belinda
DeleteWonderful flowers Sue. Your plot and garden looks nice.
ReplyDeleteIt's a pretty time of the year, Nadezda
DeleteThey are lovely. I wish mine would multiply, but they just get less each year.xxx
ReplyDeleteThe more fancy varieties don’t seem to multiply, Dina, just the cheapies.
DeleteThat's really beautiful tulips!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Endah
