Tulips are so beautiful. I'm not a collector but I love the splash of colour they bring in April and May. Our thin dusty soil seems to suit them here, as despite our high rainfall they usually get to dry out a bit in summer in the right place. These are 'Apeldoorn Elite' which have increased from an initial planting of 30 bulbs to well over 100 in 3-4 years.

That's a good rate of increase for such a tulip. And quite the show it makes too, I agree.

If I get a tulip increase in any way I am happy Maggi! Where I come from in Devon they tend to fizzle away in the heavy clay.

Here it's better and most forms at least persist. As well as the Apeldoorn Elite I have T. tarda and T. sprengeri seeding themselves.

Thank you both! Here are some more specie tulips, including some of the Neo Tulipae which taxonomists say should all be lumped under Tulipa x gesneriana.

Tulipa passeriana, Tulipa fulgens, Tulipa rubidosa.

Unfortunately I lost the label and so don`t know what is growing here.
Anyone here who can help me with a name?

Probably Tulipa saxatilis (Bakeri Group) 'Lilac Wonder'.

I'm no tulip expert but to me it looks more like Tulipa aucheriana.  The yellow centre in Tulipa saxatilis is more defined.

Tulipa bakeri.  I did not plant it under Salix lanata in shade but it seems happy there ;D

I tend to Tulipa aucheriana - found this name in my (disorderly) notes.

This is the black tulip of Cyprus - Tulipa cypria
not as black as suspected but interesting (and surprisingly hardy outside).
