Blooms from Tulip flower show lahore

Tulip flower show was dull although flowers were so pretty i almost got lost. The beauty of blooms was just exceptional. I think the bulbs were pre-chilled. Most of them were darwin hybird tulips.
After seeing the beautiful flowers there, i changed my mind that they can not be grown in lahore. Now i will give tulips bulbs a try this fall. Although i prefer growing ornithogalum, oxalis, freesia and paperwhites but tulips has its own place in flowering bulbs. No wonder my next post will be about growing tulips in very mild winters like ours. Here are the tulips displayed at the flower show.

Red Parade


Golden Parade




Purple Prince



Leen van der mark Tulip - similar to banja luka

    I love the tulip photos. I can seen why you'd be willing to try growing them, even if it will take some extra work to be able to enjoy them.

    Now that is some color. Oh, you have made me very anxious for my tulips, which won't be seen for a long while yet. Too much snow is keeping them snug underground. Love your images.
