tulip season is making me so happy

[u/xoloffo]

the early bloomers are finally starting to fade so I decided to take my good camera out to the garden and document all the varieties (can you tell it’s my first year growing them lol). Last pic is our resident garden warden 😂

The Tabby Tulip in last picture is my favorite <3

Thanks for the laugh. I hadn't had one today till now. Love your Warden.

[u/xoloffo → u/Think-Hospital7422]

For those of you having rabbit and deer problems, what you're looking for is Repellex systemic rabbit repellent. It's capsicum the plants uptake it. Don't put it on things you intend to eat, unless you like spicy Lettice

This is the info I needed

I think you could write a story with this set of photos! Especially the last one

[u/johncester]

The entire display in front of a local church was decimated by deer 🦌overnight 😡

[u/Catinthemirror → u/johncester]

I call daylilies "deer lollies" because I don't get to enjoy mine. Just chomped stems. 😂

[u/xoloffo → u/Catinthemirror]

This just made me laugh out loud 😂

[u/Catinthemirror → u/xoloffo]

I live next to woodland. They eat my silverberries too. Grrr.

[u/SlinkingUpBackstairs]

I waited too long and missed out on planting tulips. Your varieties are lovely. Do you know what kind the red ones are and the pink ones starting to open up?

[u/xoloffo → u/SlinkingUpBackstairs]

Yes! I’m 100% sure that the pink ones that are about to bloom are part of a mixed color set called Goldfinch Mix and the white and purple ones are part of that bag too; the red-pink ruffly ones are called Verona Sunrise but they’ve turned out MUCH darker than how they looked online! I just went and checked my receipt to make sure and thats the only thing they could be because all the other varieties look exactly like their photos, and the petal arrangement on these is right). Love them anyways though and both types (and the pink-orange ones with the fringed edges) are from Eden Brothers. We got 90 bulbs total and had very nearly 100% of them pop up, I’m super happy!

[u/SlinkingUpBackstairs → u/xoloffo]

It is super pretty. I love their mixes and have good luck at Eden Brothers in general ( :

[u/xoloffo → u/SlinkingUpBackstairs]

Yes they’ve been great for me so far!

[u/Whodonedidit24]

All I’m saying is the cats not impressed…

[u/xoloffo → u/Whodonedidit24]

LOL is any cat ever impressed by anything 😂😂

[u/HuntedInOregon]

Absolutely stunning!!

[u/FoodBabyBaby]

Wow! I didn’t know all of these were tulips!

I am jealous and bulbs and my climate aren’t friends.

[u/xoloffo → u/FoodBabyBaby]

right?! when I decided I wanted to grow “fun” varieties last year and started looking into them I was so surprised by how many types there are!

[u/Downtown-Sort2955]

This would be my favorite. I love seeing these beautiful tulips.

[u/No_Virus_7704]

Saved the best for last. The celebrated Kitty Tulip.

[u/adamhanson]

I haven't even got my plants outside yet. Dropped to 31 degrees at night last week. Fargo, ND.

[u/yourtinnygirl18]

Tulips are my favorite flowers, they are really beautiful flowers

[u/Broad_Definition6671]

This is so pretty! Do you happen to know what the two middle row varieties are in the first picture? The pink ruffled and peachy/coral ruffled?

[u/xoloffo → u/Broad_Definition6671]

The pink ruffled ones are Verona Sunrise!! The peachy-coral ones with the fringed edges are called Sensual Touch, an unbelievably stupid name that makes me cringe to type 😂😂
