Arda,
very well documented. Indeed many tulips change color during flowering.
Do you know your Tulips cultivar name?

Armin,

I'm heading to Amsterdam today.  Hope something is still in bloom.  The clusianas are well over in Cologne.  I had no idea there were so many variants.  Thanks for wetting my keyboard. ;D

Jamie, you will not see many tulips in Amsterdam anymore now, but there is always the Tulip Museum.. ;D ;D

Armin,

Thanks a lot for these wonderful tulip pics. I am mostly impressed with tulipa clusiana variations and cultivars, especially t. clusiana var. cashmeriana, and with our native tulipa sosnovskyi. I didn't know that t. clusiana var. cashmeriana grows such tall. I grow some t. clusiana cultivars and the tallest in my collection is 'Tinka' (45 cm). I received t. clusiana var. cashmeriana and t. clusiana var. stellata last autumn from Dix Export, but the first was mislabeled with t. 'Honky Tonk' and the second was totally virused. Very pity, but I am not surprised with mislabeling as it often occurs, but with virus I am really surprised. Unlike crocuses, I very rarely observed virused infected tulips among Dutch-grown stocks, even in white and yellow-coloured cultivars.

Armin, your photos of the tulip fields on your trip to Holland are just outstanding and the colours and varieties really eye catching.  Everytime I thought wow those photos are incredible you posted more and more - I too love the clusiana species and forms and you obviously had a princely time with The Specialist  ;D
