You Folks are most kind  8).... your sun does not appear to have arrived here yet, though   :'(
Mind you, at 42 degrees both the  tulips and I would be fried alive, so perhaps it is as well if we just struggle on with Scottish weather  :P

Wonderfull and brightfull Maggy !

here is my first Tulipa regelii; I'm very happy to get flower but I think it need to be planted deeper as one stem is a bit elongated.
The unique leave is really nice.

Strange that it continues to be so rarely seen.  Doesn't it set seed or is it hard to please?
