dnrevel | On December 26, 2023 | Potted up Potted up, stored in greenhouse until January 4 then moved to the garage for cold winter storage. |
dnrevel | On September 20, 2023 | Obtained plant Obtained a new dual pack including Banja Luka. Will plant in pots and grow as I did last year, kept in the garage, protected from freezing. Using a Govee to monitor temps. Dahlias also will be stored in the garage this year. |
dnrevel | On January 13, 2023 | Entered Dormancy I don't recall if I replanted this variety in my winter pots, but that said, I'll report how well this bulb did as listed above in a photo I posted: I'm in my second year growing bulbs in pots for movable color. The pot that did the best in my first year doing this was stored in my garage, Darwin Tulip (Tulipa 'Banja Luka'). The others were in a tepee tent outdoors, or covered by mulch, and how they did? Not so great. This year I have 5-6 pots in the garage, and we'll see what spring brings in 6a SE Michigan. It's been a warm winter without much snow so far, but with cold snaps befitting what USED to be a Michigan winter. |
dnrevel | On May 9, 2022 | Bloomed Gorgeous and flamboyant blooms. Did well in large plastic pot overwintered in garage. |
dnrevel | On February 2, 2022 | Plant emerged Sprouting in February in garage. SE Michigan, 6a. |
dnrevel | On February 2, 2022 | Potted up Multiple bulbs in pot. See photo. Took outside in March to green up. Keeping it sheltered when it goes below 20 degrees. I think the irises and hyacinths are emerging first. |
dnrevel | On November 30, 2021 | Seeds sown Planted in layers in pots and stored in garage. |
