Last year's for 50p. I didn't eat those from last year. They were binned. But this year, I will give it a try as per your instructions with foil! Hehe .. I'm cheeky!

Welcome Loana & Perki Nice to see you both here. It's an hour from me too Alp, it really is worth it. Glorious.

 

[Upsy Daisy]

Another 'hi' to you both from me too.

 

[alp]

Mark, thought you lived in Windsor?

 

[Logan]

Alp,Ok. Got my first tulip in flower

It's very sunny so the colour isn't very good, it's a lot orangey than that.

 

[alp]

Me, too. I MUST EXERCISE THE GREATEST OF RESTRAINTS (Do they have an emoji for handcuffs, LOL!) I will upload mine later. Lovely colour, Logan! It's like having a first born.. Funny is that I have one fully open but very stressed because it is inside the big pot with the Australian bottle brush. Must RIP my bum off my chair, LOL!

Ouch! What's that glue.. ?? LOL!

 

[Mark56]

I do indeed Alp - we shall not talk about the traffic yesterday!!

 

[alp]

oOOPS! But what could have gone wrong! From Windsor to Wisley is only a stone throw .. OK, let's not go there. Make sure you go there in mid June - best time to visit any place with a garden or gardens ..

Eh, I think I have come in for sustenance ... LOL!

 

[alp]

Gee, I've been here 53 minutes!

Will go after this

Love its angular bud!

Close up of another one!

They might look similar, but the petals of the first one are round whilst the one below has angular petals. Very tricky business to name hellebores

Parrot tulip - 2nd one of the year!


Leave some for tonight when I don't have to suffer the glare!
