I love the names of the tulips. I have to say, I like the singles much better, even though the doubles are gorgeous. You had me at Happy People. Yellow is my fav color, and that name makes me smile as well as giggle.
A L L I U M !!!!! ALL DAY LONG, BABY!!!!
AWESOME show and tell! I can't wait to see them bloom!!!
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. This year the squirrels went crazy, they digged up all of my pots and stole some bulbs, and I had them for years!!!
Oh my gosh, the tulips are going to be SO gorgeous next spring, I can't wait to see all the blooms! I do have some of those queen of night this year as well.
Quebec multi flower tulips. They would be great for Easter Sunday in little girl posies. For dads to give daughters.
I have a few of those Quebec and other Greigii tulips. They are lovely in the garden and naturalise very well
Very, very, nice. 🙂
Your tulips bulbs look amazing. I hope you hired a digger to make shorter work of planting them.
I planted 150 tulips into 8 large planters I am following Karl darby's method.
Hopefully spring will be exciting in my garden.
I love tulips but I avoid them due to squirrels biting off the flowers right at their peak. It is very frustrating so I focus on daffodils since the squirrels leave them alone. Squirrels are spiteful! I will enjoy your tulips instead. Thank you for sharing your passion.
New hobby flower grower over here. I thought that tulips are a bulb, so they are perennial and come back year to year. Are you buying this many tulips to expand your farm, or are you not reusing your tulip bulbs every year?
Thank you for the inspiration! Going shopping tomorrow for tulips now that I have a fenced-in garden that the deer can’t get to.
You got Camas bulbs! Those are native to the Gary Oak Meadows of Vancouver Island and were cultivated by the First Nations for their starchy bulbs. Grand Camas is big and beautiful, but I’m not sure how long they last as a cut flower. The bulbs will produce big flowers year after year on the Island, so you might want to consider keeping them multiple years. They die off quickly after flowering and hibernate through the dry South Island summer (admittedly not as dry as yours)
I'd plant the multi flowering tulips into pots ans sell them as a live flowering plant at the markets.
I grow both the Camas and Saffron crocus down south of you in Portland. They are both super easy and should thrive. The crocus in particular seems to have lots of bulb multiplication every year. They bloom just in the fall, which is great because you can put them in with other flowers and they come up after everything else is done.
Wonderful colors! Can you show how you plant them and protect them from being eaten?
I thought all day that the thumbnail was of roast chicken.
Your hair looks beautiful Serina 🙂
The change is visible even at the beginning. Flowers first, then came the vegetables;)
