Monomad - Tulip

avatar

Once I got some tulip bulbs to plant in a pot in the balcony. It was before I realized not many plants can actually survive my balcony conditions.
It did grow in early spring, but not all bulbs bloomed. The flowers were stunning, dark plum with yellow center. Of course because of the high temperatures the flowers didn't last long. I took some shots of the decaying plants and their season was done.

The idea was to have them regrow every year. Just like they do in garden.
But in garden they have nice cool soil and cold winter to make the bulbs survive. I am guessing mine cooked during the summer. The next spring nothing showed up.
Cacti rules!

It was all twisted and drying off already. Still cool though :)
