Tulips, spring colour.

Tulip Tarda

 Tulips are a fantastically reliable bulbous perennial. Native in southern Europe/ Israel/ Palestine, Northern Africa and Northern China. Huge variety of heights ranging from 4-28 inches tall, but always with only one flower per stem.

Pink and purple tulip

Forever linked to the Netherlands, ( which they don't come from) due to its commercial cultivation there since the times of the Ottoman Empire. The country now sells over three million bulbs annually.

Red and yellows

Personally I like how bright and reliable they are. Reds, yellows, pinks and purples. Whatever the weather a dry or wet year previously, there they are still every spring.
