They are a classy stand alone plant! They compete well if you want more blooms, get a few together as long as you keep them in separate pots, they don't like to share.

I was eyeballing buying an assortment of fresh cut tulips to liven up the winter blues and some foto fun soon, I share your love for flowers, it's the color vibrancy. Even in their wilty stage they have some visuals to offer! I like roses too, we tried planting some mini rose bushes in varied colors besides red (they have yellow and white ones too) in the tiny backyard for something nice to look at. I don't know if they will survive the harsh winter but they are cheap enough to replant and they too bloomed twice over the summer. After the morning watering is nice for a photo project.
