Then I planted the bulbs into the soil in pots in my kitchen.
It started to grow, but sadly it did not flower. 2 other colleagues who did the same thing, but left the plant to grow in air-con rooms had the flower bloomed. It was so pretty. But sadly, mine dried up after 2 weeks without flowering :-(
The bulbs were from Amsterdam, courtesy of colleague who went there for a conference.
The place to see these in Amsterdam is Keukenhorf....

Koeiru, Jing, I think trying to plant tulips in 24x7 summer Singapore is too difficult.
ReplyDeleteAs tigerfish says, visiting Keukenhorf is better :-)
tulips are one of my favorites. But we have it only from march.
ReplyDeleteI have never been very successful with tulips either, even with our long and wet winter...But you have so many wonderful exotic flowers in Singapore!
ReplyDeleteOh, and they were coming along so nicely. I'm sad for you and for them.
ReplyDeleteYou mentioned it was successful to grow them in aircon room, may I know the details?
ReplyDeletehi jk,
ReplyDeletemy colleague left the plants in the office which had 24 hour air con, and left it by the windows. It somehow bloomed.
The one I had at home, died without a nice full bloom. ;-(
