Tulipa julii

Just back from enjoying a week in cool, damp and grey Scotland (actually it brightened up towards the end of the week and Saturday was lovely and a balmy 17 C). While we were away there was an explosion of tulip blooming, and everything else for that matter!

Pictures to follow...

The White Tailed Deer have been successfully warded away from the tulips in time this year. First on display is Tulipa x 'Waterlily'. The deer did manage to get a few leaf tips, but that was all!

Tulipa montisandrei

[ArnoldT]

A very steady performer.  Has been growing exposed to our summer rains for more than ten years.  Most species dwindle by this time.

Tulipa altaica

[Rick R.]

Artist and Golden Artist are my favorite viridiflora tulips.  Very late blooming for a tulip, yet don't wither quickly in the heat.  They are large (both flower and plant) but relatively short stemmed.
