Info please from Dogsey gardeners :-)

I bought a load of bulbs last year, mail order.
It wasn't a case of buy cheap in bulk. I chose the bulbs I wanted and the colours I wanted.
They are now up and in flower and lo and behold some of the Tulips have multi heads. I have never seen this before and don't remember this in the original description.
Problem is I can't remember which firm I got them from to try and check back.
Here are a couple of pics not so easy to see though.




Anybody seen them before?

Lol, they are a proper bulb then not just a mutant?
They do certainly look pretty, such a delicate yellow.

I love them, I think multi heads is far better than the ones we are used to

I've not seen them and I had a good look round last year when buying tulip bulbs. I ended up with white ones and "black" ones. The white ones flowered ok but something ate all the black ones just as they were about to flower

Apparently, you are a very clever gardener if you can grow the black ones!!

Good luck next time!

I had a go with freesia a couple of years ago..... right flop! Last year, I managed two full pots of them.... and the smell was beautiful. I will have another go this year... More trial and error

Nippy, your yellow ones are beautiful. It's a pity they only last a short time. My red ones are blooming at the moment, but will only probably last another couple of weeks.
