Each August I sit down with my friend Jo and we indulge in an orgy of tulip ordering. I was particularly happy with last year’s choices and largely wanted to repeat them but found that I needed to look up quite a few to remind myself what they look like. To avoid the same problem next year, I went to Google images, copied and labelled an image of each of my chosen tulips and now have an iPhoto folder that will be a handy reference for when I plant them and when I place my order next year.
