Tulips ‘Hot Pants’, ‘Blue Diamond’ (1), the mandala inside ‘Jacuzzi’ (2) and looking across the bed with ‘Olioulles’ and ‘Paul Scherer’ (3). This collection started very warm pink, but is turning more icy as the lilac tones develop (I will post more pics soon to illustrate this). # #tulipfestival #tulips #tulip #tulips🌷 #plantingcombinations #springgarden #colourpop #flowerstagram

‘Dolls’ Minuet’ tulip is a viridiflora (green stripe) tulip which lasts for ages. It is lily-flowered, but a freer sort of shape than most. It likes to swirl and twirl it’s skirts in the sun. It has the slightest tinge of tangerine when it is young, but matures to full-on magenta. I love this tulip with Euphorbia ‘Fireglow’. I have also planted it this year in a raised bed with ‘Black Parrot’ and ‘Antraciet’ (pics 2 & 3). #tulips #tulipseason🌷 #tulipfestival #gardening #gardenobsessed #colour

The birth of the tulips has been laboured and slow this year. But their emergence is a triumph. In the bed I am calling ‘Tutti Frutti’: ‘Margarita’ (2) ‘Princes Irene’ (4) and ‘Slawa’.

They’re finally here! Tulips ‘Blue Diamond’, ‘Black Parrot’, (2,3) ‘Ollioules’ (4), ‘Christmas Marvel’ (5), and friends. #tulips #tulips #tulipfestival #tulipseason🌷 #cuttingpatch #colour #colourpop

This was my absolute favourite tulip planting last year at #greatdixtergarden To see more pics, click on the link to my website and then on the ‘tulips’ tag. #tulips #tuliptime #englishgardens #cottagegardens #englishgarden #instablooms #instagarden #gardengram

It takes courage to show your colours. To be proud of your wonderful, unique form. The tulips are supporting one another, willing one another on. #alithemindfulgardener #tulips #tulips🌷 #tulipsofinstagram #garden #gardening #englishgardens #instabloom #gardenblogger #wellbeing #wellbeingwarrior #community
