Marvellous oversized whoppers of flower looking like tufts of whipped cream on a stalk, what a fine Tulip this is. When I saw her for the first time, ion the nursery of Wilco van der Hulst, I could not stop shooting pictures. Large flowers, powerful plants, sturdy stems but with such a tender spread, you just want to dive in. As well in the garden as in a pot Cheryl is a perfect Tulip. Do make sure to give her enough water when you plant her in a pot, once Cheryl is in full bloom het flowers evaporate a lot of moisture. They also cover the pot like an umbrella, so rainwater doesn’t reach the pot. Cheryl… nice nice nice.
