Something very cheerful about tulips en masse - this from Colin Crosbie  of the tulip display at Wisley:



"Tulip display  at RHSWisley, 14000 tulips, 350 different cultivars. A great way to enjoy the diversity of these bulbs".

Here's another Tulipa sosnowskyi, not sure where from. Could be the one from Janis, "Schwanidzor, Armenia, e Z. Basmajyan".

Got this from Lars Hansen in Denmark as Tulipa primulina, which is correctly Tulipa sylvestris subsp. primulina according to the latest book. Looks more like Tulipa clusiana to me.

Tulipa urumiensis, a nice little tulip. This is of Dutch origin; Kurt Vickery tells me that wild material is not in cultivation.

Tulipa mauritiana (Tulipa x gerneriana now).
Tulipa ferganica
Tulipa tetraphylla.
