MartinB's Journal

Aw which ones are they?

stunning. can these bore?

Like those ones.

MartinB are they called Tulipa Roodkapje?

They are Ballerina. They are really reliable to come back year after year in our garden.

Better let Deb answer the riddle of the tulip name

'Oh what a shame,

can't think of the name,

there should be a ban,

on both me and Fran.'

Ok my list for next years tulips is getting bigger and bigger!!!!

I love the lily flowered ones. I somehow imagine they are closer to the original Turkish ones loved by the sultans. That is a great recommendation. I will look out for that one next year. They certainly look at home in your garden.

After seeing all the fabulous photos of tulips on this site and GW last Friday will definitely plant a lot more for next year.

I'm back just to gaze at those tulips again. I will remember Ballerina.

Me too. On my list for next year.

Martin there lovely, they look like they have really long stems.
