Going Dutch

Last November, I bought an el-cheapo packet of mixed dwarf tulips, and with help from Youcef and Leila, planted them in various tubs around the garden. I have been very pleasantly surprised with the variety and quality of them... so have taken a few pictures. They open up during the day, wide open like in the photos, then at night close up into the classic "tulip shape"; the pale yellow ones have red splotches on the underside of each petal, so look like flames at night when they're closed (sadly by the time they're closed there's not enough light to take a photo of them - doh!)
