While the species tulips I planted in the ground show no signs of flowering yet, which is quite dissapointing at they are suppose to be early.The ones planted in pots last November have come out niceley. Tulipa 'Fly Away' is already in flower and looks quite spectacular.
In another pot I planted a mix of tulips and Muscari armeniacum, which I thought will flower in succession, but the muscari are still there and the tulips already started flowering. It might be related to the fact that the pot is standing near a sheltered east facing wall? Will have to move the pot around next year to establish this ....
This pot contains in addition to Muscari armeniacum, Tulipa 'Cool Crystal' which didn't flower just yet and Tulipa 'Flaming Spring Green' which just started flowering.
And finally, some tulips I planted three years ago, which I considered lost flowered again! While the first year was great the second was very dissapointing with very sporadic flowers on short stems. Naturally after all the rain we had in the last year, I wasn't expecting any at all, and yet they flowered again.... though not at their very best.
Tulipa 'Abu Hassan'
Perhaps I should resign myself to planting tulips every year ...
