    Oh they are rather splendid Sue. Do you know the name of the variety in the bottom photo and do you grow any of them at the allotment? I normally don't fare well with tulips but this year but I have four pots of them waiting to burst into flower. Maybe it's because himself planted them under my supervision when my hand was in plaster 😂

      We have some tulips at the allotment, Anna but none of these. We bought the one on the allotment years ago as a mixed bag which are mainly red and yellow. They have multiplied each year. The variety on the last photo is Gavota.

    A beautiful burst of colour! I bet the narcissi are throwing out a delicious fragrance too.

      They are Deborah and there are hyacinths in the mix adding even more perfume.

    Red and yellow tulips intrigue me. I have been trying to find the ones grown at Inveresk Cottage Garden (a NT property) but every one I have sourced has turned out different. I think the ones you have (pictures 3 & 5) may be called "Mickey Mouse" but there are many other possibilities. It amazes me that the flamboyant colour pattern is believed to be the result of a virus...

      That is Micky Mouse, Mal. The red and yellow ones that I mentioned that we grow on the plot are either all red or all yellow not a mix as it may imply. They were just a cheap unnamed mixed pack.

    You do have a nice collection of tulips. We had hot weather that turned cold and windy so my tulips are mainly kaput. The double pink ones look like peonies. Beautiful!.

      There are supposed to be some double whites, Lisa but they haven’t flowered yet. All are new this year.
