Oh my, how I covet your T. regelii Dimitri. Wonderful.
I do like your Tulipa dubia 'Beldersai' also Ralph, love the the way it hugs the ground.

 I do like these orange-reds -not a colour you find in too many other spring  flowers.

Here are the Tulipa clusiana again; firstly the one labelled var. stellata, and secondly f. cashmeriana. Probably both not right as such, in fact I can't see a lot of difference between them.

No sun today so could photograph the outside of the petals. I still can't tell them apart - I think I'll simply label them Tulipa clusiana!

Here's Tulipa sylvestris growing on a shady bank in the garden.

This Tulipa sosnowskyi flower is huge! 17cms across.

I have this labelled as Tulipa montana Yellow Form. Dutch origin and probably not the true species.
