Tangled Branches: Gardening ::: Thumbs ::: Next >> ::: Mystery Tulip. This tulip ought not to be growing and blooming so well. I don't remember buying it or planting it. It may have been a freebie with some bulb order. I may have tossed it in at the back of the lot instead of throwing it away. I gave up trying to grow tulips here early on. They're just too tasty to all the rodents. All the other ones I've bought over the years have disappeared. Except for this one. See the next photo for a better idea of its situation.
