A Rather Unusual Tulip

Tulips don't grow well in the ground in our garden, they don't like the heavy clay so after learning the hard way Chris now plants them in pots. This one however has survived in the ground, it was planted in the lawn two years ago.

We had clay soil at our first farm…..it’s not easy to plant & nurture plants. Thankfully here we have much nicer soil but the gardener has got past it!

The result of perseverance of this bulb. And the joy of watching it flower. And that besides its beautiful colours and its unique shape.
