Tulip Gavota in the extensive gardens here at Dolores Delargo Towers
Another glorious sunny day - and on a Bank Holiday weekend; unheard of! - and, needless to say, I have spent it tending to the garden, as well as shopping for more compost and bits'n'bobs.
I am weary, but happy at how it is coming along. What better way to relax that in the company of some gorgeous people in exotic locations - courtesy of Soft Tempo Lounge, of course?
Sigh.

What extravagantly beautiful tulips. I never had any luck with tulips, they were just expensive mole food.
ReplyDeleteWe have never grown them in the ground, always in pots - and luckily they love dry and hot conditions, which means one less pot to worry about watering too often. They'll also be in the bin once the flowers go. They're so cheap to buy, there is little reason to treat them as anything more than annuals when one is pushed for space. Jx
DeleteNext year I will have tulips! Yours are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteRe: the weather - I am a little bit pink in places [I did use sun screen!]

Oh, it has been gorgeous, hasn't it?! Worth getting pink for... Jx
DeletePS you being in the balmy South west and all, tulips in a sunny position should perform brilliantly for you.
Hello Ms Scarlet.
DeleteThe tulip is Gavota and well worth a go

I'm not really a fan of tulips, but I rather like these as they remind me of the giant monster plant from the titles of Star Trek: Discovery. Bravo! You always put on a good show, Jon.

Tulips are an acquired taste, but they're brilliantly coloured when just about everything else is just green (even the daffs have gone over), they're scented (Gavotta is, anyway), and their season is over and done with in about three weeks, when summer begins in earnest. What's not to love?
