tulipa

[Kenneth K]

This dwarf is always the first tulip in our garden, Tulipa dasystemonoides is the name. Not to mix up with T dasystemon. It has a weak but distinct smell of saffron.

[Maggi Young]

Richard Wilford in his Tulip book says:
"Tulipa dasystemonoideshas a leathery bulb tunic that is densely wooly at the tip, and the plant can occasionally produce two flowers. Otherwise it is virtually the same as T. dasystemon, with two leaves and  yellow flowers held on a short stem. It grows at high altitudes in the Tien Shan and was described by Aleksei Vvedensky in 1935 from material collected in the Talas Ala Tau of norht-western Kyrgystan."

Here is Tulipa 'Casa Grande' blooming today in my Maryland, USA garden.

I'm very favorably impressed with this one.

Jim,

Thanks for posting!
'Casa Grande' is, indeed, a real stunner! It developes ubelievably huge blooms. Now it flowers in my garden too. Last year it was 50 cm tall, but this year after adaptation it is already 60 cm.
Here are last year pics, and I hope to post this year's photo soon.

Zhirair, you asked about T. United States, etc.
Here are some collages. I made one of T. United States and one of
T. Cape Cod and T Juri Gagarin.
And to compare also two pics. of T. Tschaikovsky and one of T. Compostella.

Here's a photo showing some of my Tulips. Nothing compares to what has gone before me!

And a word of warning. Looks like T. clusiana does not like bug spray

Boy are we being shown great tulips here !  What a marvelous thread this has turned out to be (as so many others....  )

Here's Tulipa Vvedenskyi x T. mogoltavica 'Girlfriend' - you may wonder why I show it again as I posted it a few weeks ago.  The reason is seen on the second picture taken from the same batch of flowers a week or so later......  What a difference ! 

The third picture is Tulipa batallinii 'Yellow Jewel'

A plea to all the expert tulip growers in the forum.
 Due to my ineptitude  with the watering can, Tulipa, julia, cretica and illiensis have the Botrytis. I have pared down the bulbs to, I hope, a clean surface and they now reside in a sulphur compound.
 How can I keep the bulbs in good condition until the autumn. In dry compost or.....should I give in and scrap them and re-order.

Hoping you have the answers
Alan
