I have a question regarding Tulipa schrenkii. I bought two pots this spring and they are flowering now. Is there a possibility that this is natural variation (seed grown plants, even though it seems unlikely) or is it the "colour breaking virus" I've been reading about?

The one on the right could be virused.

Went to an English Heritage members event at Walmer Castle on Wednesday entitled "Tulip Fever". Partly it was Deborah Moggach promoting here novel of that name, and partly about the tulips in the gardens. The Head Gardener Rachel Clark has caught the tulip bug, and apart from extensive tulip plantings in the gardens she is building up a collection of historic cultivars, which were on display in the greenhouse. Some photographs follow:

Ralph,
What a great range of tulips!
Your collection is impressive and the ones from Walmer Castle are fascinating.
I'm doing a talk soon to a local garden club on Tulips - please expect a PM from me,  ;D
cheers
