Nice to see the tulips in habitat Frazer. Where exactly were the photos taken?

A couple of late bloomers here: Tulipa sprengeri and Tulipa batalinii.

So many nice tulips!
It is not many doing well here. Here is one exception: Tulipa batalinii 'Bronze Charm'.

and a probable T. heterphylla

[FrazerHenderson]

and I'd welcome help on this identification. In the field I thought T. ostrowskiana but now I'm not so sure - it is the leaves which cause concern as they are neither crispate nor ciliate.

That's a big tulip!

Janis would know, if he is following this topic.

Can anyone help identify the first 2 tulips. The 3d one is Tulipa acuminate and finally Tulipa clusiana chrisanta

Hello Frazer
This is not T. heterophylla, but looks more to T. tianschanica!
Where in Kirgizia did you find this tulip?
Your red tulip is indeed T. ostrowskiana, the most variable tulip I know .
Even the the  yellow tulips sold in trade as T. tetraphylla and T. altaica belong to T. ostrowskiana

Dear Sjaak,

Thank you for your identification.

The tulip was photographed on the road into Chong-Kemon the north side of that road some 10 kms or so before entry to the valley from the main road.

I attach another photograph showing stamens and filaments etc.

I also photographed this tulip (which i'm still trying to identify from Everett) - of which there were about 10-12 on the south side of the road into Chong-Kemin under thick vegetation. As you can see the inside of the tepals was coloured. It wasn't at the same location but probably not more than 2-3kms away from the earlier T. thianshanica. 

I'm happy so send a personal email with other photographs of Kyrgyz tulips, if you wish.

Groetjes/Regards
