Good afternoon all! Just had a wander in the garden and found this #yellow #tulip showing me a bit of leg! 😀 #smallisbeautiful #wildlife #spider

@rachelbrooks - Thanks Rachel! Had my Action Man Eagle Eyes on this afternoon! 😀

@brightcolours - Thank you Katie! 😀

Good evening all! I don't have many yellow tulips this year, but man, when I look at the ones I do have, it's like looking directly at the sun! 🌷☀😎 😀 #tulip #yellow

Stunning centre! 😁

@jacq1075 - Peeking inside the tulips is a favourite pastime of mine at this time of year! You never know what you might discover! 😀

Dazzling 😎😎😎

The details are amazing Ian 😊

@Keely - Exactly what I thought Keely! 😀

Whoa! 3D! It's certainly a bright one!

@rachelbrooks - Hehe! It is a bright one! 😀

Good morning GTers! I thought I'd bring you a mosaic of #tulip colour this bright and sunny morning! I've got over twenty varieties this year and the majority of them have all flowered at the same time! Have a good Good Friday everyone! 😀

Wow 😳 beautiful!

You have some beautiful ones Ian 😊😊😊

Morning Ian that's some colour 👌😍 Raining here today but think garden will welcome the rain water 👍🌧🌧

@carolecuttingitfine - Thank you Carole! 😀

@pelly - Thanks Jane! 😀

@Keely - Morning Keely! Oh sorry it's raining for you, but you're right, the garden will love it! 😀

Good morning Ian @bigemrg ......WOW how beautiful are they. Your garden must have looked so pretty :)

@flof1952 - Good morning Pauline! Yes, it's looking very pretty at the moment! 😀

Wow! What an incredible collection, lucky you 💚

@hilliergardencentres - Thank you! 😀

Morning. A gorgeous collection. Beats my two. I definitely want more next year 😊

Good afternoon all! Possibly the prettiest #tulip in the garden at the moment! Wish I knew the variety though - any of you good people in GT land care to hazard a guess? 😀 #pink

Afternoon Ian 👋 it's very pretty 😍 I love it

@greenfinger14 - Afternoon Melanie! Me too and I'd love some more! This came in a bag of mixed bulbs from Tesco a couple of years ago! None of the varieties were listed on the bag unfortunately! 😀

Totally gorgeous Ian 😊... i will hav to look out for a mixed bag of bulbs maybe I will be lucky too and get an extra pretty one ☝️

@greenfinger14 - It was a fantastic bag actually with some really great varieties including ones I've since identified as Gold Dust and Black Prince! 😀

Soo jel ... I want som 😊

That's gorgeous! Not a clue I'm afraid, I guess that's the problem with mixed bags- we don't know the varieties 🙄☺

Fabulous Ian @bigemrg Unusual colouring but Gorgeous with it 😘 the tulip that is 😉😂

Delightful...👌🏼👌🏼

Gawjus Ian 💕💖💗 no idea on variety

@titchyfra - Thanks Franca! I was only expecting bog standard yellow and red varieties and was delighted with what came up! 😀

@jadojado29 - Thanks Suzie! 😀😀😀

Found this pretty #pink #tulip trying to open up this afternoon! It was almost there, but then the rain came and spoiled her grand opening! 😀

Gorgeous colour 💖

Very pretty Ian 😍

@vec - It is Julie, and if I remember correctly, when it opens up there is a lovely white centre! 😀

@greenfinger14 - Thanks Melanie! 😀

Very pretty 💖

@Keely - Thanks Keely! 😀

That's gorgeous Ian

@justin - Thanks Justin! Wish I knew the variety and I'd get some more! 😀

@latebloomer - It certainly is Deborah! 😀

She's beautiful with or without sun

Lovely colour Ian 💟💟💟

After a busy day I think it's time for an early night, especially with us losing an hours sleep tonight! I'll leave you with the first #tulip to flower in my garden this year! Sweet dreams everyone! 😴 #spring

Morning GTers! Looks like it's going to be another wet one here! Can't remember whether this is Black Prince or Queen of the Night, but it's one of the final tulips left to open! #tulip

Morning Ian. You OK?😊

Morning! Damp round the edges here too. Tulip is beautiful whatever it's name is.

Morning Ian 👋☕️

@mikethegardener - Yep! Bit wet but otherwise fine! 😀

Evening everyone! I didn't know I had any dark tulips until I found this in an old pot, hiding away under a bush! It's now in pride of place on my patio, awaiting its grand opening! #tulip #surprise 😀

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Fabulous colour👌

Tulips have been incredible this year, and still growing strong. Love the dark coloured varieties like this one.

Morning GTers! Here's a pretty #pink #tulip to kick off the bank holiday! Have a great day everyone! 😀

Lovely shot. Hope your day is fantastic (and drier than mine looks like it will be 🌧🌾).

Thanks Ian 🙌🏼

@vespa - Raining here too at the moment! ☔️

Happy bank hols 😊

Morning Ian. Lovely shot. I sympathise Emma, it's raining here too 😕 but hoping that will change later. Have a good day 👍

@bigemrg @rusty looks like we're all having typical bank holiday weather 🙄🌧😋

Morning Ian. Wet here😕too!

Good morning lovely tulip🤗

#stunning #bestof2016

Happy bank holiday 👍

A fringed #tulip 'Gold Dust' I rescued from the frost the other morning! Happy enough to show itself in all its glory now it's indoors!

Omg @bigemrg that is gorgeous. I must find that colour.

@bigemrg lucky u that u can amitre this indoors #Stunning

'Admire'

#fringed #frilly #yellow #orange

What a stunner!

Goooorgeous 😍😍

It looks like it fell straight out of the sixties

Beautiful 😍

Its absolutely stunning 🤗

😀👏🏼

Absolutely amazing sure is #stunning 👌👌

Frost melting on a #pink #tulip earlier today! This was one of the lucky ones as I had a few casualties that are now looking bedraggled in a vase on the kitchen windowsill!

A beautiful survivor 😍

@christineb - I think so too! 😀

My tulips mostly survived, but it's such a shame to lose things to Frost at this time of the year. Glad this one survived.

@rusty - I agree, although I wasn't expecting frost to effect them to be honest! Was pleased they survived all of the storm winds earlier in the year so was disappointed to see so many drooping over this morning!

Great photo!

Thanks @sara2309 😀

Stunning pic 🌷

Thanks @debs69 😀

#raindrop

Morning GTers! Beautiful but frosty this morning! This #red #tulip is one of the biggest I've ever seen at about 9 inches across!

Rain has finally stopped play - along with the wind and cold! So, here's a very frilly #tulip that I can't wait to open up! Looks very intricate - maybe a bit too fancy for its own good! 😀

Tulip Azelia or Ada . Both first introduced in early 1900 s

@sara2309 @benjitzers - Yes, must be having an identity crisis! 😀

@OICANALP - Thanks for the ID! It came from the supermarket in a bag of mixed bulbs! Great result! 😀

Beauty

@bigmrg lucky you, we planted >100 bulbs last year and all we have now is a very fat squirrel! 😡

@Anoldclone - oh no! Mine have taken so long to appear I was thinking they'd gone the same way!

😍

One of only a couple of #tulip to have opened so far this spring...

Like the delicate colour

Lovely @bigemrg do you know what variety it is? 😕

@gardenhoe - unfortunately not. It came in a bag of mixed bulbs I got from the garden centre last year.

#tulip #pink

What a beauty!

Not sure of this variety but it was the first to appear in spring 2016!

Great photo! 😀

Thank you @richard.spicer.7906 😄
