That's beautiful I thought I had 2 of these but mine aren't a green colour on the outside of the petal🤔🙄

Soooo nearly there! But as it gets closer to blooming it is looking worryingly familiar 😳😱https://www.google.je/search?q=little+shop+of+horrors&prmd=ivsn&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjS99vW1aTMAhUlBcAKHUhlAYIQ_AUICCgB&biw=375&bih=559&dpr=2. (ok so showing my age there!!)

Feed me Seymour!

@David I've got some of these also nearly out 😄

I think these are so pretty in this state before they open!

Haha! Let's hope it doesn't turn into that!

Lol :) Beautiful

Back home now and pleased to see these beauties almost out to greet me! It looks like it's giving itself a hug!!

Ooh I planted some parrot tulips. Can't remember name lol.

Love to see this in full bloom

Me too @errolly!! I will post a pic as soon as it is out 🌷

Oh yes please do post when in bloom. I can't grow tulips where I live but I do love them so

The parrot series is just fantastic and black tulips are some of the most beautiful.

Going to be a beauty

Would love to see this open 💜

The packet promised so much back in the autumn... but not long now before my patience is rewarded with these little beauties!! 🌷😊

And yes... I need to do some weeding!! 😁

Always !

Me that is ! 😀

Who doesn't need to weed lol. Looking forward to seeing your reward 👍

First bulb in and he has a little worm for company!! Hope he doesn't eat it 😳

Well done you. I still need to do mine 😁😁

Worms are good mice are bad!

@Kathy I can't get on with worms 😕 give me the creeps but I like mice 😍 think I'm a confused gardener 😂

Worms don't hurt but mice nip! Lol 😄
