Tulipa butkovii, intense red
That's amazing! Are they replanting all the tulips each year or are they naturalized?
This rounded yellow tulip is probably closely allied to T. ×gesneriana and may be one of the parents or may also be a hybrid. It is possible that this taxon escaped during Ottoman occupation of the area. Its origin is unknown and it is therefore often treated as a neo-tulipa, and, if done so, these taxa may be treated under a separate Cultivar Group.
