Tulip "Montreux" an early double, started out pale pink and then turned luscious yellow tinged with pink at the base. They were $22.50 per 100 bulbs during the 2011 Van Engelen fall sale. Waiting to buy so late in the season means less selection. Also, it pushes the planting time back pretty far. I had all my bulbs in my zone 5 garden by the end of November. The last few bulbs I had to chip away an inch of frozen mulch/soil conglomerate.
Tulip "Red Impression" from the 2011 Van Engelen bulb sale cost $18.15 per 100 bulbs (plus shipping and handling charges). A bouquet of around 30 stems definitely brightens up a room.

| Tulips, along with other plants favored by deer in our area, must be grown in a fenced area. We fondly refer to the fenced area as the "Deer Compound", even though that makes it sound as though it is a compound for deer. |
