Luke had the chance to go to Amsterdam last weekend for work but we have a fortnight off so he passed on that opportunity. Last year he came back from there telling me how great the tulip bulb selection was and I liked the idea of actually having tulips direct from Amsterdam. However I did spend my loyalty reward vouchers on buying 70 new tulip bulbs. As they cost me nothing I didn't mind buying them at full price. I have potted most o f them up now and the tubs are hidden from view behind the greenhouse. I just hope they don't get dug up by any visiting wildlife.
I bought ten of each: Black parrot, Blue parrot, Flaming parrot (a super vivid yellow and red striped fancy flower), Monte Carlo (the nearest we are getting to a holiday this year), Exotic Emperor (don't they have wildly grand names?), Sorbet ( pink and white which is new for me) and Rems Favourite.
This will give me flowers from April till end of May and should offer me the chance to enjoy not only patriotic red, white and blue but also splashes and stripes of purple, yellow and red. Chaotic but after what may be a long wet winter we will be crying out for furious riots of colour and these chaps should fit the bill.
