Michael,

your unknown tulip resembles "Mickey Mouse", approx. 35cm height.

Here a few shot taken last week

Tulipa ?
These were labeled as double yellow when purchased.

Michael, I think you've got T. Washington, of which I put a pict. hereby.
There is just flowering a field of it in front of my house.
Or else it could be Prins Carnaval, but this is not cultivated 'en masse'.

[Michael J Campbell]

Luit, I think you are right with Washington, after comparing the pics that is the one that is most like it.

[Kenneth K]

Tulipa orphanidea is one of the tulips I like the best.

[hadacekf]

It is my favorite too.

Some tulips from my garden

Luit,

Thanks a lot with helping to identify those greigii tulips. I compared your pics with mine and think that my "United States" is true to name. But I am still in a doubt with another tall yellow tulip with distinct red margins. Oh, everything is so complicated.

Alan,

I didn't clearly caught your statement about the botritis. If the infection is only on the leaves you can just apply fungisides, though bulb harvest will be a bit weaker. In the case of bulb infection, you can save bulbs with applying fungisides if the infection is not so hard. Otherwise the bulbs will die.

Zhirair,
it is difficult to go only on the pictures. Depends a lot on making which time of the day and sunshine or not.
I make most of the pict. in Conn. Coll. in the afternoon.
To illustrate 2 pictures:

Tulipa fosteriana Group Albert Heijn v.T. 07  (13.04)   
Tulipa SLG Demeter     ( 16.04)

I’ve taken lots of tulip pictures. but still have very limited spare time to sort them out. Nevertheless yesterday I resized some photos to post in the forum and many interesting ones will come soon.

Some Darwin Hybrid tulip pictures:

The largest-flowered Darwin Hybrids “Holland’s Glorie” and
“My Lady” (‘HG’ sport) with somewhat tulipa Fosteriana flower shape and delicate rose fragrance

More DHT tulips
“Eric Hofsjo”
“Maria’s Dream”
“Ljudmila Zagamulova” (V.K. Khondyrev)

[Boyed]

and some photos of my favourite lily-floweredtulip “Ballade” and its sports

“Ballade”
“Ballade Dream” (syn. ‘Sonnet’)

[Boyed]

“Ballade Gold”
“Holland Jewel” (and “Ballade Gold” in the background)
(“HJ” is slightly darker than “BG”)
“Ballade Orange” (syn. ‘Je t’aime’)

And my “Ballade White” and “Ballade Lady”, which I obtained last year first were mislabeled and the second didn’t grow.

Zhirair, I think between you and Liut, you will be starting another Tulip craze There are certainly some lovely, rarely seen Tulips out there. I am trying my best not to get too taken by them, I can't grow everything.

Susan,

pleased to hear that. Yes, I understand what you mean. I have the same problem with other bulbs, which I like, but becuase of land and time shortage don't risk to go deep. At least you can try very few rare and catchy cultivars to enjoy in your garden.
