It was not an easy choice deciding this month's plant of the month. There are a couple of candidates making their presence known in the garden, but working on the principle of what have I photographed the most (a good measure), then the tulips have won hands down.
There are many many different types of tulips and I grow quite a few different ones. I could just say it is all tulips that are the plant of the month and that would be nice and easy. I could use several different photos and all would be good. I decided I needed to be more granular, more precise. I need to be clear which tulips I have totally fallen head of heels in love with. Dear Reader I present to you: Tulip Gudoschnick.
This is a fabulous tulip. It is the first season I have grown this one and it has stolen my heart. It is a flouncy-flounce of a tulip: multi-petalled and almost peony-like in flower. It comes in shades of red, gold and yellow. It also has a fabulous name - a good reason on its own to choose it.
I planted them in the front garden and it has done nothing but please. I am finding it hard to walk down the garden path without stopping to admire one or other of them.
I have no idea if it will return next Spring, sometimes tulips take a year out to regroup and consider their options. I am therefore intending to buy more for next year. I think en-masse they will look nothing short
of stunning.
Time will, of course, tell.
