Sometimes a day is more difficult than it deserves to be. It was a little like that today. For no particular reason, I was more Eeyore than Tigger. Lavinia, not tip top herself, was patience itself whilst I walked into bird tables, tripped over bricks and generally staggered about the place like a lump of over-proven dough. Just as I was leaving, a little tulip caught my eye. Earlier we had been inspecting this bed and it was yet to open, it made for a precious private moment. Now tell me that pink and yellow don’t go. If you dare.

Just looked it up, looks right. You get a gold star (I have a chart). Thanks x

Probably why it took me about twenty years before I tried T. saxatalis. Plus a move to a mild-winter climate where it is one of the few tulip candidates available, as it does not require winter chill. I finally saw my first T s flowers this spring.
Pink and yellow go together. Definitely 🙂

Sounds like you were all green thumbs today. Pink and yellow certainly do go together on that tulip.

Hopefully I have now got over that, but I always have the potential for clumsiness!

Just what’s needed to lift the spirits and yes pink and yellow definitely go together, when you just look at flowers more closely it’s happening all the time.
