Red Tulips



Here’s a list of red tulips that will be of assistance in choosing your tulip bulbs for the coming year. Print it out so that you can compare prices as you shop online for the right bulb to plant.

You’re going to see that the pictures are all NOT of red tulips. These pics are to show you the shape of the bulbs rather than the pictures of individual tulips. As I increase my collection of individual tulip shots, I’ll bring them online for you. (But first I have to go to Holland to get those pictures!) :-)
