Thanks and a question!
Thanks for telling me about this ng! I thought "free uk gardening" was the
only gardening ng.!! Can someone please tell my why my tulips won't flower? I was told told to put them in the fridge for a few weeks before planting them, which I did ( only to lose one , which someone chopped up, thinking it was an onion!); but they still won't flower. Any hints? Helen |

Any hints? This is a funny season to ask about tulips flowering. {:-)) When did you plant them? When did you expect them to flower? Did they grow any leaves at all? Franz |

Any hints? Helen Helen, are you posting from Australia? If so, it might be worth your while emailing a company like Blooms at Bressingham to ask them for advice on planting in your climate. They have a lot of bulbs from van Tubergen, an excellent Dutch bulb supplier. http://www.bressinghamgardens.com/ -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (remove the weeds to email me) |

They have a lot of bulbs from van Tubergen, an excellent Dutch bulb supplier. http://www.bressinghamgardens.com/ I would have thought that most of Australia had weather a bit on the hot and/or dry side for Tulips outside, are you trying to grow them in pots? How did the meal turn out with Tulip instead of onion? :-) And for those that are about to say this is a UK type climate only group, with the way we are getting warmer this may be a problem for some/all of us in a couple of years. So if Blooms give you an answer let us know Helen. -- Regards Bob in Runnymede, 17miles west of London, UK |

--Well, I have emailed the Blooms family, and am intersted to see their reply. Luckily I was out when the family had tulip stir fry!!!! They all still look quite well though - which is more than I can say for my tulips :) :) |
