From the late Zhirair, Tulipa kaufmanniana 'Gracia'

I'm taking time  to pause  and  remember  a  lost  friend - Zhirair was  a gentle  soul and a  good  friend even though we  never  met  in  person. I  miss  him.

[Yann]

Indeed he was a great and generous guy!

a few more: Tulipa kurdica and Tulipa dubia 'Beldersai'

You have done him proud, Luc cheers fermi

I certainly second that. I often wonder how his wife and son are making out. Anne mentioned a fund raiser, did that ever happen?

Very nice Luc and Yann!

Some more Tulips here:

Tulipa tschimganica -believed to be a stabilised natural hybrid of kaufmanniana and dubia.



Tulipa clusiana cashmeriana -The flowers open widely in the Sun but are attractive both open and closed.





Tulipa humilis Alba Caerulea Oculata -another in flower.


Tulipa sp. -this was raised from wild collected seed. Unfortunately the label was lost. It’s an attractive compact plant with a large vivid red flower. It’s a bit of a long shot but can anyone put a name to this?
