I’m not sure Curt. I don’t remember tulips having a smell and these tulips that I have around the house from two pots I bought a couple weekends ago do not smell, but they are so elegant and lovely. The deer will eat the bulbs, I’m sure, but I’m going to plant them anyway. 🙂
Dale responded to me on your post, Sylvia, which I appreciated. No smell. As for deer, probably. We have two bulb flower going on our property that the deer pretty much leave alone: daffodils and irises. But when I look up tulips on the net, here’s what I read.
“Preventing deer from eating tulips requires persistence and guile.” I like the guile part. 🙂
Ha! Honestly, I’m not that invested. If they want to eat the bulbs (and I know they will), then fine. It is what it is. 🙂 I can’t imagine what trickery I would have to use to make the tulip bulbs unattractive to them! Simply not planting them would probably be the logical answer! But often, I’m not logical. So…..there’s that.

Yep. “Come here and sniff.” 🙂 Do tulips have a smell, Sylvia. I didn’t remember?

Laughing. I think half of our life (slight exaggeration) is spent trying to outsmart the deer, Sylvia.

Not at all 🙂 It’s a trap to be so pretty and give off no scent!
