Gorgeous series of Tulips Armin and Mark !  What a splash of colour.

Here's what I have as T. bakeri 'Lilac wonder' - not rare but I like it a lot - and it does move around Mark !
Mine are planted in the garden in a pot with the bottom removed, that keeps them where I want them  ;D

At our show yesterday there was a pot of batallinii labelled as clusiana but I didnt point this out. Should I?

yes my unknown white and yellow Tulip is tarda ex kazakstan. My whittallii and orphanidea are lost under my Lonicera purpusii. I'll have to move thm when dormant.

I was hoping more people would come forward with Tulips so here goes with more of mine

Mark
if we had autumn flowering tulips I'd send in a pic! At present the first tulip foliage is just above ground, one of the cretans, T.cretica of which I posted a pic in the old Forum last September.
cheers

PS see you in 3 days time in Prague!
