Kris,
a good start of the Tulip season. :)

Thanks Armin .I saw this species once in Crete and since that moment I am only  partially  happy with the performance of this tulip in our lowland ...
In Crete the leaves grow very flat on a scree  .This was a wonderful sight there in Crete.

This very small Tulip needs plenty of sun to keep small... I have the same problem in the frame, but they look nice in the open rockery.

Presumably this lovely little tulip needs to be kept frost free Kris?

Beautiful T. cretica, Kris.

T. saxatilis started to flower, here about the double in size of T. cretica  - but still much smaller and delicate than the large form of this species normally obtainable in trade.

Thanks Luc -yes we have very low temperatures actually and it was something strange to see for example flowering Oncos standing in the snow - hope I suffered more than the plants  ;)

I was wondering about your beautiful plants, having heard stories from friends in Catalunya!! I hope you don't have any casualties.
Lovely tulip!!
