Tulipa ulophylla is blooming outside, despite some snowflakes yesterday.
Deep red and beautiful foliage, a jewel !

Tulipa agenensis, rare in France and threatened by urbanization and intensification of agriculture.
In culture the plant requires a lot of heat to bloom.

A tulip we collected in the south of Armenia near the border with Azerbaijan. 
It was growing together with tulipa sosnowskyi.  The yellow form of it ??

Edit.  This is tulipa florenskyi in its yellow form

Tulipa sogdiana again.

Tulipa sosnowskyi. Not sure where I got this one; I have had bulbs from several sources including Janis and Leonid. Must keep better records!

[johnralphcarpenter]

A couple from Kurt Vickery: Tulipa montana KV40 and Tulipa Montana KV119.

Tulipa systola WHIR-21. From Janis, "Iran, Kuh-e-Sendan Dag, very wet valley after pass, really damp soil with stream at bottom, 2105m".

[johnralphcarpenter]

Tulipa fosteriana. From Janis, "Agalik, Uzbekistan, 1977".

[johnralphcarpenter]

A nice cultivar, Tulipa humilis 'Persian Pearl'

[johnralphcarpenter]

Tulipa stapfii. Probably not a valid taxon these days. Dutch origin. Now a synonym of Tulipa systola.

[johnralphcarpenter]

Now I'm confused again. Here are some variations on Tulipa clusiana, the first I have labelled as T. clusiana var. stellata, not sure where I got it from. The second is labelled T. clusiana f. cashmeriana, this is from Gerben Tjeerdsma. The third is labelled T. clusiana var. cashmeriana, and is of Dutch origin, Antoine Hoog. According to the latest book none are valid taxons. Too difficult!
