Tulipa 2022

[LucS]

Amana anhuiensis baohuanensis from China is a tulipa relative with big flowers.
It looks as if the one bulb will split this season

I think i lost mines, they don't like to dry.

Indeed, they get some water during summer.

Somewhat easier to find is this Amana edulis

These are some excellent tulips, Luc!
The plants look nicely compressed, not elongated as one would expect in a greenhouse at this time of the year. Do you use artificial light or are you blessed with sun?

Also I am still looking for a T. rosea. Do you have a source?

My outdoor tulips are just forming the first buds - well, a few Eriostemones are. Section Tulipa is barely showing yet as March was cold. The fist tulips were out around New Year's though and grew nicely through Jan and Feb as it was unusually warm.

I have T. ferganica here in the USA.  It has persisted outside without any special treatment.  Generally tulips fade and disappear after 3-4 years but this one has hung in.  Where did you get yours.  I would like to get some addition bulbs but have been unable to find them.

I have 3 ferganica clones but only very few bulbs.
Aleksandr Naumenko (https://www.nova-zahrada.eu) has several different ferganicas, Rareplants UK at least had them some years ago. Janis Ruksans also offers ferganica, but only for next year.

A few warm days can do wonders - the first tulip of the season is in bloom.
Tulipa biflora ssp koktebelica from Crimea

Very beautifull, more handsome than the belligerent who annexed the Crimea.

From seeds (5y), Tulipa clusiana var chrysantha

Tulipa regelii. A lovely potful as seen in the alpine house of the Munich botanical garden. My single bulb has some work go do to get as good as this
