Back in the cold dark of December I planted 500 Tulip bulbs. The first of these Tulips is now in flower and it is Claudia. This lilly flower shaped Tulip was planted with Tres Chic.
But the purple/pink colour trimmed with white is striking and dramatic and after the long months of Winter and the slow journey into Spring the appearance of Claudia is most welcome.
Of course there are many more Tulips to make their appearance. The hot dry weather has been a bonus while it has lasted and Claudia has made her entrance a month early but this is probably due to the hot spell and the sheltered spot where she was planted.
But welcome Claudia, the garden just got a lot more colourful.
