I Got Lots Of Beautiful Tulips

Submitted 1 year ago

By Howconnie

From Los Angeles, California

I read the reviews before purchasing so expected to get red, yellow and white tulips. I actually got some unique bi colored ones along with the three I expected. The plants put on quite a show. The only problem is all my tulips had a disease so I can't save them til next year. That's why I only gave 4 stars.

I LOVED them! I was hoping I would see some pinks as the picture shows but it was fine. The flowers were so big and they all came up. They were a beautiful start to the season. I would definitely recommend them.
