Tarda Group... I missed again their full-bloom time.

Tulipa clusiana var. chrysantha? Yes, I think so.

[Janis Ruksans]

Tulipa albertii. Not sure where I got this; Kurt reckons it is a T. vvedenskyi hybrid. So not the true species.

Not albertii.

Thanks Janis.

Here is the other colour form of Tulipa dubia 'Beldersai'. Is this virused?

In the garden, common but a good doer; Tulipa bakeri 'Lilac Wonder'.

Absolutely exquisite, Ian!
Seeing all these tulips is making me quite impatient for ours and I'm still planting them!
cheers

Tulipa armena, another one from Janis.

Got this from Leonid Bondarenko as Tulipa rubidosa: "Savoye, France. In English information sources named T. platiphyllum, in France ones T. rubidosa. I take part of French colleagues, because it is their native tulip".

Now we are told this is Tulipa x gerneriana, possibly Tulipa gerneriana f. rubidusa, or even Tulipa x gesneriana 'Rubidusa'. Whatever!

And some tulips in the garden yesterday.

Visited the Eden Project in Cornwall at the end of last month (of which more later in another topic). Nice tulip display in the Mediterranean biome.
