GIANT TULIP HEAD BROKEN BY RAIN

If you're interested, it's Tulipa Blushing Beauty:-)

Aw...it looked a beauty Ba hope the rest of them are OK..I pressed 'like' meaning I like it ...not because it broke off !

its beautiful

Pressed like for the same reason,Ba..what a shame.I have been lucky with mine,so far..and have expected this every day..except today ...it's been fine and even sunny this afternoon..yippee ! :o)

me too, sorry it broke off.

:(( but it looks pretty like that too

I went around this morning and snapped off most of my Tulip flowers, the rain and wind destroyed them all....:<(

What a shame such a beauty too!!

Lol Richard ...and there was I thinking you were in favour of tulip decapitation;-))
Thanks Sticki, I saw them first at fourseasons garden Walsall:-)
Bloomer...there you go again...your tulips are ok and to top it all you have sunshine:-))
Thanks Pixie, I took loads of pics of it, but none turned out as good as I hoped:-)
Isn't it sad Motinot, it's not as though we had been waiting forever for their flowers is it lol:-)
Thanks Pansy, serves me right for buying giant ones:-)

one of these days i would love to go there BA, please will you remind me when their open days are on, if you are going?

I'll have a look Sticki, think I went in May, easy for me to get to on the bus:-)

thanks BA, i have a feeling they have one in autumn but spring would be good too.

Got the dates for May Sticki, 12th 13th 19th 20th May for NGS:-)

oh, thanks BA, so some of those are same as Malvern??

I've forgotten the dates for Malvern lol, I'll have to check them again. Work work work... you still going in the Friday? :-)

still hoping to, OH says he wants to go! so we have to leave after i finish work at 11; we have to buy tickets on the gate cos thats what he wants to do.

Stroller has very kindly offered to pick me up...must be miles out of their way...so I can be there on GOY day too. I think we're all meeting up somewhere? I think I'll be buying on the gate too. I didn't know your OH was interested in gardening:-)

He isn't!! And he pulls up plants whilst carefully going around the weeds!!
To be fair, he likes the garden to look nice and is happy to buy plants.
I did explain there were several of us going, I thought it would put him off but it seems he would probably like to know you are all real??
Btw have you put your name on lulu's GoY map blog/photo? She is trying to make a map of where we all are, it's very interesting.

Oooh I'll have a look. Maybe he thinks you have assignations? All this gadding about in a garden related way is just a cover? I'll drop you in it lol:-)

Eh?
We went to the GC yesterday cos he wanted to go. Perhaps he is beginning to take an interest in his old age! And before you think that he is probably coming to stop me spending so much, no! He spends more!

lol BA
