I’ve got parrots in the garden … not real parrots because we don’t live in the right climate … but parrot tulips. Parrot tulips are known for their colourful, curly, fringed petals that perhaps resemble parrot feathers. They have gorgeous colour combinations. These are the tulips that I grew in pots this year and I have been really pleased with the results.
Enjoy!
The buds are like parrot beaks and that is where their name comes from.
Do you have any parrot tulips in your garden?
