I swear when I planted them in 2009 I only put in 6 bulbs, 8 at the most. Now, five years later, after a shaky start, I have a small forest.
None of this ridiculous modern idea of treating tulips as annuals for me! To see what else is blooming bloggers' gardens, visit May Dreams Gardens.

If only critters didn't eat the tulips. I confine myself to the 'little bulbs' and daffs.

What a shame for you! The critters round here haven't cottoned on to tulips. Let's hope they never do!

Well, if you get frost, you can use tulips as perennials. If not, they're annuals or you stay away from them like I do.
Looking great! Almost makes me want to have frost...

They are lovely, what type and variety are they?

Oh, dear, Helene. If only I kept a proper planting journal, I would know. I'm afraid I've completely forgotten, though I'm 99% sure I bought them at Wisley.
Hi, Town Mouse. I'd love you to expand on the frost perspective. I wasn't aware it made a difference.
