Armin, thanks again for your help. Please don't worry too much about typos- I make enough of them in my first language! I did have 'T.saxatilis', maybe 8 years ago (from a garden centre), and it never flowered for me- so I am happy to have the plant again as 'T.bakeri'. Do you have any problems with 'T.saxatilis'?

As I know the main difference between T. bakeri and T saxatilis is that second one produces stolones while first one does not.
Both were very floriferous here - I replaced the comercial T. saxatilis as it is said to be a triploid sterile clone with suposed wild ones which are much smaller until now and did not flower so far.

Simon,
I don't have problems with flowering. I keep them in ordinary sandy soil and full sun.
And I spread only potassium and phosphate fertilizer in late winter just before noses appear (~February) and lime in autuum.

Hans,
somewhere (RHS?) I read the main difference is the original found location and name registration. T.bakeri was first and therefore still widely used. You might be right to distinguish between the two species. Do you have a source?

T. saxatilis producing stolons, new bulbs flower in the 3rd year, sometimes in the second. Often old bulbs die after flowering or when stressed. Then only small non-flowering bulbs remain. Keep untouched and wait... ;)
In order to minimize spreading I use plastic baskets (those with fine grid used for aquatic plants).
They clump up nicely over time.

Some new Tulip pictures...

Luc,
it is true what you say and it is a nice species but regretable should be T. orphanidea "Flava", which isn't >:(

Wonderful clusiana Hans !!

Here's almost the last tulips flowering for me ...

1) T. vvedenskyi 'Tangerine dream'
2) T. wilsoniana - they don't come much redder than this I think...  :D
3) T. batalinii 'Bright gem' - clumping up nicely !

Hans- the T.clusiana are great so much variation between the 3 types- do you collect seed from them?
Luc- a lovely trio. T.vvdenskyi always wins for me though  :)
Armin- sorry I have another one for you- growing from a patch of Ornithogalum. I am sure it is a Tulipa humilis- but which one?

Simon,

Referring back to your "t3", Tulipa saxitalis 'Lilac Wonder': this is the most successful tulip in my garden. The conditions in my garden seem to suit it very well and it has spread generously - must get a photograph but the weather is miserable today and I would not bring a camera outside.

Last year I dug up one bed in which I have many of this tulip to clear out some nuisance plants. When I was digging I was being careful to look out for the bulbs but could not locate them at all! I thought they must have rotted though they had being growing in this bed for over ten years. However, they are back again this year as if I have never disturbed them at all. Any comment or explanation?

Thank you Simon  ;D
I have also two other T.clusiana ( T.clus. v. chrysantha  + 'Cynthia'
No - I have never collect seeds from them ...growing Tulipa from seeds is only for younger people ( they need around 8 years from sowing to flowering )
I have tried this only one time - with seeds of T.clusiana from a Bot. garden ...I still waiting for flowers  :-\
