Tulipa vvedenskeyi hybrid 'Girlfriend' belongs to 'chameleon' type - it changes colour during blooming from yellow to almost red.
The same 'Girlfriend' pictured in 2000 at world exhibition Floriade in Holland where it was awarded with diploma (scanned from slide)
Tulipa humilis JJJL-029 - Karabel pass, Turkey - in cultivation
And the same Tulipa humilis JJJL-029 - Karabel pass, Turkey as seen in wild - everywhere forming clumps and very uniform throughout population, medium tall
Tulipa humilis SLIZE-008 - Tochal, Iran

"This afternoon I decided to show few of the most famous cultivars raised by me - they just now are in full bloom."
Incredibly gigantic and bright hybrid between Dutch cultivar of Tulipa greigii 'Lovely Surprise'(raised by Lafeber?) with wild T. fosteriana. Certainly polyploid, with very thick and strong stem around 60-70 cm tall, huge flowers and good increaser. Single "fault" by Dutch bulbgrower's opinion - makes too large bulbs and can't be packed in standard box sufficient number of bulbs... Named 'Akadēmiķis Saharovs'
I raised it in Soviet time and named after famous dissident of soviet regime as 'Academician Sacharov'
Another excellent increaser - Tulipa greigii aurea cultivar 'Saulriets' ('Sunset').
Tulipa kaufmanniana hybrid with T. greigii named 'Latvian Gold' - 'Latvju Zelts'
Close up of 'Latvian Gold' - really flowers are something more yellow shaded.

Janis: "My most famous daffodil cultivar 'Freedom Stars' ('Brīvības Zvaigznes') raised from cross between N. triandrus 'April Tears' and split corona 'Canasta'. Named after 3 stars on top of Freedom monument in center of Riga - capital of Latvia. Most often it bears 3 flowers on top of stem, but could be even 5."
'Freedom Stars'
'Monument of Freedom in center of Riga after which I named my daffodil cultivar. Picture from Internet.'
Narcissus 'Freedom Stars'
'To get this hybrid I pollinated 50 flowers of 'April Tears' and got only 15 seeds, 8 of them reached flowering and turned that 4 were ordinar split corona, 4 showed triandrus shape - two were split coronas and 2 ordinary looking. The first blooming was 8 years after sowing.'
