Tulipa 2009

[Lesley Cox]

Boyed, I wasn't too bothered about the name of my Tulips, but if you know it..? They seem to be approx half and half red and light yellow. They were wilted this morning and the leaves floppy but they needed some more water. A week after I was given them, they're still in good condition.

Fermi, sorry not to have seen your reply earlier but thanks for the info and I do really like Tulipa that you can appreciate looking into..... Tulipa bakeri "Lilac Wonder" is a favourite but your T. clusiana is really lovely - is it over yet?

Lesley -   Boyed mentioned a Triumph, might it be 'Cees Nelis'?

[Kees Green]

Is Kees Nelis not a bright yellow/red. I remember this one for its great name 
Here my tulips at present-I assume they are very common but they add lovely colour to our little cottage garden

Right you are Maggi and Kees. Kees Nelis is much brighter.  I can blame my aged recollection.

I don't mind not knowing. I don't want to get fixated on names for every tulip I see around.

Yes, Lesley, you wouldn't want to get manic about tulips, would you!
The species are still going with us but the hybrids will be starting soon.
Here's Tulipa saxatilis


Tulipa clusiana,




Tulipa hageri is just starting,


And this Ruksans hybrid T. vvedenskii is starting to multiply,


There'll be more soon!
cheers

Fermi, Tulipa clusiana is so beautiful outside and in - quite tall by the looks of things? 

[Lesley Cox]

Fermi, I thought T. kolpakowskiana was red?

[ashley]

Fine tulips there Fermi  

Fermi, I thought T. kolpakowskiana was red?

Usually yellow with a red/purple wash on the outer petals I think Lesley.

[fermi de Sousa]

Lesley,
 you want red tulips, you got red tulips! I think the first one is T. praestans but I've lost the label! I'll have to search the record books.


the next one is more orangey-red, T. vvedenskyii


as is T. albertii


And of course, T. greigii which I posted earlier


cheers
fermi
