Title: Tulipa 2025

Tulips are late this year, March started very cold.
The first one to flower was Tulipa orthopoda on Mar 12th

I've had a few days in Amsterdam visiting my son and we went to the Hortus Bulborum in Limmen on Saturday. The Kaufmanniana tulips were looking good and I particularly liked the Duc von Tol (Group 1) type which are very short and cute.

Oh nice!
I have never been to Limmen, I'd miss my own if I go there during flowering time. The tulips there are clearly ahead of mine. But the Kaufmannianas and Duc Van Tol also opened in the last days here.

Some insects are eating my tulips, probably beetles. T. albertii has holes in the flower.
