I think gorillas are amazing animals but it’s not a suitable name for a pretty flower 🤔 @juliesgarden @joanboston @flof1952 @hebelover @debs69

How could someone name this gorilla?! 🦍 Nothing against gorillas. In fact I rather like them but it just doesn’t seem to fit this particular tulip or any tulip for that matter 😆
