Tulip Tally

I think that tulip season here is winding down, so here are the results:

• Princess Irene
• Negrita (both from the 2003 and 2005 fall planting seasons)
• Menton (very lovely pink-lemonade colour)
• Black Hero
• Blushing Girl (the pink edging on the white petals used to be more vibrant)
  
• Marie Antoinette (though I don't have any successful bouquet action going on)

Kind of sad because the buds on quite a few of my other tulip clusters shriveled up instead of blooming. That's the problem that I had in the 2005 season. I eventually concluded that I was to blame in my eagerness to chop all of the foliage after the blooms were done, but I wasn't around last summer to do anything to the plants. I wonder what happened? Still not enough nutrients for the bulbs?

They are beautiful. I have never even attempted to grow tulips. Possibly in a couple of years in AZ.
