Thank goodness for that - I did wonder if you were sporting some spectacular facial hair that had crept into frame.........

A couple of pictures of a not very exciting tulip I collected in Turkey in 1990 near Cerkes which is East of Bolu

Tulipa sylvestris I think

..but grace and beauty outlast excitement; a charming form.

Tulipa aucheriana

[johnralphcarpenter]

Two more: Tulipa tarda 'Kashka Su' from Janis, and Tulipa stapfii Hort., of Dutch origin. Kurt Vickery tells me that this is no longer a valid name.

Now fully open - magnificent!

Tuilpa tschimganica Hort., another one that Kurt Vickery tells me is a Dutch clone.

[johnralphcarpenter]

Yet another of Dutch origin - Tulipa clusiana var. cashmeriana

[johnralphcarpenter]

T. dubia 'Beldersai', from Janis. This interesting orange variant opened today - compare to the yellow one I posted recently.

[Arda Takan]

Mr carpenter may I ask how many T. species you have?

[johnralphcarpenter]

Well, sixty-five and counting, but many of of Dutch origin so of unknown wild provenance, and this also includes a few Cultivars.

Tulipa montana Yellow Form. Of Dutch origin.
