TULIPS GALORE IN A FREE-STANDING TROUGH

I heard some time ago that we gardeners might as well throw old tulip bulbs away and buy fresh ones each year because they are never as good in following years.  I decided to put that to the test, so last autumn I packed, I do mean packed!, a free-standing garden trough with old tulips bulbs of all sizes and types and this is the result.  The grass-like plant at the front, in its own container, is chives.
