Tulipa 2017

[Cfred72]

I wondered if anyone could help id these Tulips for me. These pictures were taken last year.
I was given them by a dear friend  a few years ago. All she could tell me was that they were very old varieties.
many thanks

The size of the plant, that of the flower are important to know who it is. In addition, image of the foliage too.
There are thousands of cultivars of cultivated tulips, it may be difficult to give it its name ...

The greenhouse is the answer. Mine are all outside.
