Anyone here taking part ?
I was relieved to see that there haven't been any recorded for Scotland yet as mine are still tight buds.

Yes, I'm taking part in it Mrs. KP.....after a very 'dodgy' start my tulips are now almost at the 'flowering' stage....one sadly has been eaten right thru the middle of the 'flower head' (got a hole thru it) but it's still struggling....I was very limited as to where I could put them (chose the wrong place I realise now)....very wet area & never gets any sun on the ground where they are but they're tall and elegant looking....just waiting now for them to 'burst open'
One of them is almost 18" high!!
will report back when they're flowering
Hi Mrs. KP
As you can see from the pic my Tulips are in full flight, no doubt you will post a pic when mine are well spent!!! LOL :) :)

but they're the wrong ones !!!!!! (but beatiful nevertheless) ;D
mine are infront of a hedge in the front garden which gets the early morning sun until about 11am and have had a fair bit of it. Just think we're colder up here ... much!

I'd not spotted this last autumn when I planted about 50 White Triumphator, otherwise I'd have chucked in some Spring Green too. The ones I did plant are all very tight buds and I'm way down south (Kent)
Not taking part in the survey but my tulips (planted several years ago) started flowering in Edinburgh about 10 days ago.
d**n, the first scottish one went in today ! :'(
