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.
