I have a small garden and have arthritis which makes it difficult for me to bend down. I like to grow plants in containers as that is easier for me

It looks like "La Vie" or possibly "Double Early Foxtrot"

This is one of the dwarf tulips that Dutch Bulbs sent me free of charge. Such a shame they are no longer shipping to the UK 🇬🇧

I ordered some lilies from Dutch bulbs.com and they sent me a bag of botanical tulips as a free gift. They are very small. Is there any chance that they will bloom? @pelly @mrsflowerpot @midnightgardener @mikethegardener @ublaszko @ukgardentags @kez001uk

End of season. Probably trying to get rid of them

They will be ok and will flower. Botanical tulip bulbs are generally smaller than normal tulip bulbs because the actual plants are dwarf type. ☺️

They're a similar size to iris reticulata and crocuses so best to plant them in a pot so you can see them better.

These are a lovely little tulip, I have planted them in a lawn around a tree and left them to naturalised. They look lovely.

@pelly As the weather's so bad Jane, would you say that other types of spring bulbs would be ok for planting in January? I just don't think I've be able to get mine in. It's usually wet outside and tbh I haven't gardened much at all, apart from planting the new Hellebore I got 💕💕
