Pictures of tulips

Post by toomanyanimals »

These are part of my 90% off zillion bulb buy 2 years ago.

Pink and Green tulip with large blossoms. This one is the best! :P

Next is a very dark purple tulip. Is this called a parrot? I thought if it had 'wavy' petals like this it was a parrot. Anyone know??

Next is a fringed tulip, pink and white. I can see a red and white tulip exactly like this one starting to bloom on another plant. These were from a package just marked 'mixed fringe'. Not a big bloom, but very pretty.



Hope you enjoyed them.

Ok, you guys made me go look for the names. :evil:

And now that the sidewalks and driveway are edges and the house and shed and gardens are all weedwacked before the rain gets here, I can let you know what they are.

Fantasy Parrot - Pink and Green

Black Parrot - Dark purple - Yes, DG, you were right on this one! :beer:

Fancy Frills - pink and white fringed

And YES I'm sometimes lazy when it comes to unlabeled plants. :oops: I just wasn't sure if Fantasy and the Black one were 'Parrot' tulips. A person at work thought parrot tulips were only orange and yellow combination. I had thought it was the shape of the petals. I guess I am right. :wink:

Thanks a bunch guys!

Jane, my tulips may have some fancy petals, but the yellow and pink color combination on your tulip is gorgeous!

They were all planted 2 years ago and some made it this winter, some now. I had a few similar in form to yours (the parrots) but they never bloomed. But I think it had to do with putting a patio in near them and they were buried :(

But next year .....Hopefully I'll get more in.... I love yours :)
