I wonder if anyone in New Zealand grows any of these unusual species?

Tulipa aucheriana, from Janis. Nice colour, makes a change from yellows and reds. And a nice garden tulip.

I have this labelled as Tulipa tetraphylla, but it is not yellow. It is from Janis but I do not have collection details.

mix of species and garden hybrids flowering today

T. cretica is one of my favourites - beautifully understated

'Dreaming Maid' has great colour and does well and in being quite short doesn't tend to get whipped by the wind.
 
This is first time I've had 'Latvian Gold' - it tended to blow out quickly but will probably keep again for next year.

'Maytime' taken in front of the hyacinth theatre - a good waisted tulip.

This was a surprise when it popped up in a corner of the garden; I don't remember planting it but I guess I must have done so sometime. A dainty little tulip, I'm pretty sure it is Tulipa linifolia, possibly from Paul Christian.

Hi Ralph,
Are they possibly the lily-flowered tulip 'Marilyn'?
cheers

Tulipa batalinii. This one from Antoine Hoog via Kevock, so Dutch origin.
