Is anyone planting some new tulip varieties you’re excited about? Queen of Night is always a favorite for me.

    My favorite tulip is Princess Irene, I love the combination of orange and purple

      I love 'Princess Irene' too! It looks especially cool when it is combined with 'Pretty Princess', as shown in one of the containers in this article:

    I'm completely in love with TULIP ACUMINATA. It has lovely yellow and orange petals that are different than any other that I've grown. Fabulous in a pot or the rockery it is considered a species tulip.

      Yes it's so beautiful! I love species tulips in general as well; they have such a different presence in the garden.
