I purchased a pack of Queen of the Night late blooming tulip seeds last year. I planted them in fall and was quite surprised when they actually popped up. While the photo on the package looked almost black, they are more like a dark moroon color. In the past I have planted tulip bulbs but they never came up. I suspect that perhaps the rabbits got to the bulbs. It was indeed a pleasant surprise to see these beautiful tulips in the garden.

Yes, I have planted many bulbs , one comming up is a blue hyacinth I put in an old plastic bottle and painted, which is very pretty.
Nice! It must be beautiful.
Those tulips are beautiful! I’ve never planted tulips but may have to give them a try! My vegetable garden is doing well–that is my surprise!
After many tries, success. You should give it a try.
I just may. I’m having fun with all my planting so far!
I have these in my garden as well, they are magical.
You do? Yes they are magical
Stunning tulip color. I recently visited the park and was amazed at the colors of the amaryllis.
They are coming up with lots of nice colors for flowers these days.
ahh, great My favorite flower 🙂
They are mine too. Thanks for visiting
Such a gorgeous velvety color!
It does remind one of velvet for sure.
What a beautiful flower, tulips are a favorite in our house. That is an amazing deep purple!
It is a beautiful shade. I love tulips but they never seemed to like me in the past.
we have never really been successful growing tulips. It can be very hard!
The surprise has been that the pandemic is controlled in Spain and now everything is going to normal.
That is a wonderful surprise.
The tulip looks like satin. Beautiful.
It sure does, I love it.
That’s a nice surprise.
It was and I hope it surprises me again next year.
