Default Not orchids but.........
Looking through the forum list I couldn't quite see where i should post these pictures so forgive me if I've done this in the wrong place. I bought these ages ago and left them out in the dark garage........we came across them one day and they were starting to sprout.

Well just a short time later (amazing how quickly these bloomed) here they are!!!! Exciting to see such colour.

Oooh those are just beautiful Darren. Striking color
You've just reminded me, I've got about 80 bulbs to plant in the next few days - just waiting for the rain to stop.
Your weather must be warming up again eh, Darren?



PS -- wish we had a outdoor garden section

Ohhh they are beautiful! I love the edging of yellow. When I was a little girl tulips were my favorite flowers in the world.
To this day I still cannot resist a florial spray that has tulips in it.

Those are lovely...when we lived in New York, I had a yard full of tulips...but not an orchid in sight!
We tried growing tulips here and they didn't like it very much
