Same here I bought a pack with this one a pink and a white, names escape me, the whites increased like mad but like yours this and the pink are few and far between :-(

lovely colour.

I've read other GoYers about slicing bulbs to increase the stock; would that work on this? but if it's the only one you have left, would you want to risk it?

Dont give up on these, I found mine had a rest and then came back.

Funny you should say that,Denise..one of my dark Tulips didn't show last year,but this year,it is lovely..and the original colour,as the others from the same pack are a faded pink ,and not half as nice now..

Lovely deep colour Dottie. I can remember growing a tulip bulb...Queen of the night....in water in a specially designed vase, when I was a child ....a very long time ago Dottie.

Strange that DD I have two of them that have bloomed for some years now deep among the Hemerocolis. They must like the company. They last a long time too in bloom
