Zhirair,

I noticed the high fences you have around your garden.

I also must grow tulips (and lilies) behind a 2.4 metre fence
or deer will eat them.

Diane,

growing bulbs, especially tall ones around the fence is, indeed, very protective. They are more safe from mice damage as well as from strong winds.

Anthony, if the striped one  in the second picture belongs to the T. linifolia
I would not want to keep it.
Seems you had a sunny day. For this red one needs sunglasses.

Yes, it was lovely and sunny, and thanks for the advice Luit. I will carefully remove the virused plant.

I made a comparison picture for giant DHT tulip "America", so you can see how large it is

[Maggi Young]

Oh my word! That is one HUGE tulip   Extraordinary size to that bloom.

We discussed much about Breeder tulips, which are very beautiful in my opinion. Some breeder tulips were bred in Russia as well during 70s. I just would like to show one, which is called “Dymka”/ “Smokey”, raised by famous Russian botanist Zinaida Silina. It has very unusual colour, it is something mixture of dark brown with purple with a metallic overlay.

Here is the last Tulip to flower and the best Tulipa sprengeri

Fantastic colour, Susan.
Can anyone help identify these 2 tulips?

[Boyed]

Oleg,

The dark red variety might be Triumph tulip "Jan Reus", but about the orange one, I don't have any idea as there are many such-colored varieties.

Few pics from me too.
Tulip "Belaya Vezha" (gr.5) with very nice shape of flower, resembling a rose, when it is close. Tulip "Lunny Svet" ("Moonlight"), attracting attention by its large ball-shaped flower center. Tulip "Yuri Dolgorukiy' (gr. 6) with rare shape for the group and tall up 15 cm blooms.

Anyone else not seeing Zhirair's pics on his last post. All are replaced by little red crosses, normally when this happens I click the cross, choose 'Show Picture', and all is well-not this time though??

[Lvandelft]

Zhirair (or Fred) makes us very curious I think. 

[olegKon]

Zhirair, thank you for help

In April I visited the Chanticleer Garden in Pennsylvania. No tags on the flowers shown below. The 'rock garden' was a series of steps down a slope. Tulips were used to liven it up.

Rob,

the fist red/yellow tulip somewhat look as variety "Flair" from I division. But I can certainly identify the second one, which is "Princess Irene" from vivision III (former Mendel Tulip)

Zhirair, for me it was until now impossible to open these pictures.
Is it possible to edit these again?
