After at least 15 years and who knows how many bulbs lost, I've finally succeeded.
My first ever Tulip bulbs are ACTUALLY growing and beginning to get ready to bloom as well.
And the gardening experts around this area said they " Can only be grown in a Garden by using a Greenhouse/Hothouse with regular and steady drip-feed watering systems and need tending like a Mother hen with her chicks."
Mine just got planted in with other plants, watered once a week and a small amount of Blood and Bone sprinkled around them every 6 -8 weeks.

Luckily we don't get rabbits roaming free around town only arse-wipes who like to steal flowers from the gardens of others.
@Triphid puts me in a frame of mind for a re-watch of claasic Wallace & Gromit: Curse of the Were- Rabbit.
@Donna_I Not really, the "barbed wire bit" is made from twisting the the end pieces of the wire netting around the straining wire that holds it up ( took down the ugly, rusting corrugated iron fence that stood about 6 feet high because it cut off a lot of the late afternoon sun from the garden beds), the security system was installed about 12 years ago when the town was having a really bad rash of home invasions and burglaries happening PLUS I have an small collection of antiques mainly Australian stuff though but some are quite rare so I've been told.

Posted by KateOahuI saw some pretty flowers on a walk today. I’d never seen a white Hibiscus before. And I do not know what the pink flowers are.
