Its not so nice outside, lousier as the day wore on. I spent the later part of the afternoon on line bulb shopping.
Ordered just a few daffs (150) but ordered a lot of tulips. In fact I did not count them up until after I had bought them by already hitting the Order Now button. Oh my. I have it all planned where they will go so I do need them. 1,750 tulips plus those daffs. Of course the amount to be paid in the shopping caert was one giveaway that I had a lot in my cart. Came to a lot of money but very good prices for the amount of bulbs. I am so pleased.
Ok so I got-
Tulipa greigii 'Red Riding Hood': 100
Tulipa greigii 'Gold West': 100
Tulipa greigii 'Princess Charmante':100
Tulipa kaufmanniana 'Early Harvest' 100
Tulipa species 'Clusiana Stellata' 100

Tulipa small bunch flowering 'Praestans Fusilier': (RedFirespray) 100
Tulipa fosteriana 'Flaming Emperor' 100
Tulipa fosteriana 'Exotic Emperor' 100
Tulipa fosteriana 'Pirand': 50
Tulipa tall bunch flowering 'Colour Spectacle': 50
Tulipa tall bunch flowering 'Marienthal': 50
Tulipa tall bunch flowering 'Wallflower': 50
Tulipa darwin hybrid 'Red Impression': 50
Tulipa double early 'Eternal Flame' 50
Tulipa single early 'Couleur Cardinal': 50
Tulipa single early 'Strawberry Ice': 50
Tulipa single early 'Royal Mixture': 200
Tulipa viridiflora 'Esperanto': 50
Tulipa fringed 'Valerie Gergiev': 100
In case your wondering 50 was the minimum you could get, or 100 count blocks.
That first lot before I left a space are all tulips of the type that will come back year after year forever. The second block contains types that come back pretty strong but not all of the ones planted do so and you end up with not as many as you planted. The last block forget it, one year and you are done.
