RE: 📷 #ColorChallenge "Tulip" This flower is very hard to grow and grows very well in our garden, It grows mainly in the winter.

Great shot..I would give you an advice: When your tulip has bloomed and died, remove Judy the top bit of the floering stalk. If you do not, the tulip will put some of its energy into trying to grow seeds that will not flower for several seasons and will not look like the parent plant. Most people would rather that the tulip puts all its energy back into the bulb ready for it to flower next year. For this reason dead heading is considered to be good practice, but it is important for the main leaves to remain in place until they go yellow and die.
