After an informative history of the tulip Nick then told us the best way to grow them in our own gardens. As always his talk was enhanced with beautiful, bright pictures, all kinds and colours of tulips except of course a true blue! Many members vowed to try harder to thwart the Grey Squirrels next year and produce our own colourful tulip displays.
Nick has shared his booklet Tulips: A Terrible, Triumphant Story with us which I haven't been able to attach to this blog, but I can email to anyone that would like to read it.
