Tulipa 2020

[Yann]

Generous bouquet David 

Tulipa butkovii, brick-red flower

Tulipa (T) butkovii Botschantz., Bot. Mater.
Gerb. Inst. Bot. Zool. Akad. Nauk Uzbeksk. S.S.R. 16: 8 (1961)
Holotype: UZBEKISTAN. ‘Tian-Schan Occidentalis, in
montibus Alatau Taschkendicis’, 1959, Botschantzeva3754 (TASH).
Distribution: Uzbekistan.
Note: This species is similar to T. alberti and could
be placed there in synonymy (as was carried out by Van Raamsdonk & De Vries, 1995),
but it has different anther dehiscence and is therefore maintained here, although the taxa are obviously closely
related.

Tulipa linifolia 'Apricot Jewel' under the 1PM sun definitely not good except burning colors 

[Yann]

Tulipa dubia, ex Ouzbekistan
Tulipa clusiana 'Honky Tonk', cheapest of all clusiana but so cute
I received among an order a bag without label, if someone can help me to identify this third tulip it'll be great

Great comparison

[ArnoldT]

Tulipa altaica

Could represent the northern most representative of the genus.

[FrazerHenderson]

likely T. lehmanniana seen north of Naratau, Uzbekistan (40.74 66.59) in flat, stony desert-like land which had been subjected to heavy grazing from goats/sheep. Lots of leaves but only 3-4 flowering plants - all similarly sized.

[ArnoldT]

Tulipa ferganica a solid performer here in N. New Jersey.  Returns every year.


Could be due to it's northern habitat

[Roma]

Tulipa batalinii 'Bright Gem'

 

[Maggi Young]

Those  diligent  folk in the  Scottish town of  North Berwick worked  very  hard  in their  efforts  for NBIB - North Berwick in Bloom, taking  part  in the  Britain in Bloom competition and  supporting  many  other  events, such as the  various  pallet and  childrens' garden competitions at the  Gardening  Scotland  shows. They  ensure that  their  town is  always  full of  flower and  colour.  In the Spring NBIB organise  a  tulip festival, with dramatic plantings  of  tulips  of  every type  and  colour  around the  town -  from this  page  of their  website, you  can  get a rather  fine  flavour  of their  success  this  year from a  couple  of  slideshows  compiled  by John Reglinski ....    https://www.northberwickinbloom.org/copy-of-tulip-festival-2020

 Enjoy!


Quoting Stan da Prato ( who is  as  heavily  involved  with NBIB as  he  is  in all his  many  interest  groups) on his  photo:
North Berwick tulip festival. The pallet display with a backboard made up by local children. The tulips are now fully open. NBIB entered the pallet garden competition at Gardening Scotland ever year but sadly our national gardening show is no more.
