Tulips Petal Shapes

Amelia Hoskins / Floral / / 0 Comments

Tulips which changed colours from Cadmium Red to peach pink and burgundy

First planting 2022:  Bright dense red with a bronze early appearance. Orangey petal flares and yellow centres. Seven images show how as the tulips age, petals turn to peach blending to pale pink which is predominant on petal edges when the sunlight  catches their luminosity.  The previously black centre changes to burgundy.  Grasses in their wintry dried form make an excellent backdrop to tulips planting.

Tulip Salmon Van Eijk from 2021 planting: Reappeared, with their cerise inner pink delicately blended to pale pink outer petals, contrasting with a deep violet centre.

EDEN PROJECT

Amelia Hoskins / Floral / / 0 Comments

Eden Project is a group of biomes housing Tropical and Mediterranean plants, with corresponding equatorial temperatures.  The quarry situation allows a sun trap for many flowering plants to thrive outdoors too.  Full setting built in an old china clay quarry; a Cornish industry.

The quarry has been organised into different planting areas, including a hot weather planting scheme on the south-facing north side with unusual plants.

The Eden Project is a group of biomes housing Tropical and Mediterranean plants, with corresponding equatorial temperatures kept optimum year round.  The quarry dip situation allows a sun trap for many flowering plants to thrive outdoors too.  Full setting built in an old china clay quarry; a Cornish industry.

The quarry has been organised into different planting areas, including a hot weather planting scheme on the south-facing north side with unusual plants. Cornwall benefits from a specific warm maritime Gulf Stream climate of mild winters.
