I didn't plant fresh tulips last winter, but a scattering of the previous years came through; the lily-flowered reds were smaller than in previous years, but still looked good. A few of Big Sunny came back. What an amazing tulip.
The dead tulips are weeks old now, from when I bought myself flowers. Orange tulips grown under Dutch glass, bought from the co-op on the corner for a few quid. It's a great compliment to say of a garden plant that it dies well, or dies tidily. Tulips do better than that. They die fabulously.
