I am so happy that my Queen of the Night black tulips are finally blooming 
No, it’s not too late, this is one of the late blooming tulip flowers (as you know, Keukenhof: the biggest tulip garden is open until end May, so you need late blooming tulips to still attract the crowds).
Ok, ok, I agree: these tulips are not completely black, but deep purple.
Since these bulbs are quite rare and expensive (it can take up to 20 years to create a new "black tulip"), I put them all in a bucket which I perforated at the bottom.
This bucket I put in the soil in November and now my black tulips are blooming. And it makes a nice flower arrangement as well having them all snuggling up to each other.
Soonest all the leaves are dead, I dig out my bucket and put it in the basement to let the bulbs rest.
Other cultivars are La Tulipe Noire, Black Diamond and Black Beauty but I prefer my Queen of the Night black tulip.
