Posted by Marilyn (Kentucky - Zone 6a) on Feb 13, 2014 3:16 AM I found this gorgeous tulip on a website and had to order it. It has different colors and stripes and every one is unique. A bright and colorful beauty. It's all one variety, but it will look like I'm growing different tulips. [ Reply to this comment | |
