Planting Day - November 30, 2022

This is my first year growing tulips. I am excited to see how they will turn out. They are going in the planter right by our front door, where we look out a large window, and right by where everyone walks up to our front door. I decided to try 15 red ones, and 15 mixed. We will see how that works out.

Nice Looking Bulbs

Here they are out of the packaging, ready to go in the ground.

9 Weeks - Tulips are Starting to Show

13 Weeks - Just Starting to Bloom

March 5, 2023 - The first tulip flowers are starting to emerge. It looks like they will all be in bloom soon!

Week 15 - Full Bloom

March 17, 2023 - We are in Full Blooom with a few tulips that are already done, and just a few starting to bloom. This is a qucik bloom lasting a total of about 3 weeks.

Mixed Colors were a Bust

Although there were a few blooms, the assorted color bag did not show anywhere near the quality of the red tulips. I think next year I will go full red tulips.
