Tulip bud/seed

The lady next door gave me a black tulip seed pod (after the flower had finished).

I put it in a pot and it sprung open into little 'tulips'. Not sure what it's going to do now.

Any ideas what I do with it?

Re: Tulip bud/seed

This is most peculiar Pesta, I don't understand it.
If you try and grow tulips (or most bulbs) from a seed, it takes several years for it to mature enough to flower.
I have never heard of anything so strange.
In fact, I am even wondering if your neighbour could have got confused and given you something else in error, as they certainly don't look like black tulips, do they.
Interesting . .

That is the funniest Tulip I have ever seen.
Send the picture to the RHS and ask them what it is Pesta.

Those little things in my pot don't look much like tulips, but the parent was - definitely a black and beautiful tulip
