Aren’t my tulips glorious? Aren’t they cheerful? I try a new assortment every year. These are Black Diamond and Orange Juice (a stupid name), which one of my favourite garden writers, Sarah Raven, would hopefully approve of. I have one of her books, The Bold and Brilliant Garden, in which she rebels, if gently, against the traditional English cottage garden with its soft pastels and genteel frothy borders.
I have it
