Do you know your Parrot from your Rembrandt, your Greigii from your Kaufmanniana? Yes, the season of tulipomania is upon us once more, with many tulip- themed events taking place around the country in the coming weeks. These include tulip festivals in Co Offaly (April 26th to May 4th, angelajupe.ie), at Powerscourt Gardens in Co Wicklow (until April 24th), and in the gardens of Glenarm Castle in Co Antrim (May 3rd to May 5th, glenarmcastle.com). A Tulip Day will also take place in the restored walled gardens of Woodville in Co Galway (April 26th, woodvillewalledgarden.com). Fionnuala Fallon
