every one is beautiful, fred!
do you have these in a rock garden setting? i'm wondering how people present these small sp tulips--are they on their own in the rock garden, or are there other herbaceous plants that come up around them later?

Super tulips images from everybody

Fred,
isn't T. doerfleri a synonym for T. hageri?
Yours resemble T. whittallii which belong to same T. hageri group...
T. agenensis and T. lownei are a stunners! Lovely.

[Armin]

some tulip images for you

T. albertii: easy and reliable, makes this year a great show
T. clusiana 'Lady Jane': not as strong as last year -foliage suffered from late frosts
T. saxatilis: growing in my sunniest place. 4 flowers per stem - 1st. time for me.

Love these images of Tulips opening out and bringing a Spring feeling to my computer 

Fred, your T. agenensis ssp sharonensis is quite wonderful - I really like looking deep inside a Tulip to see such detail 

Armin,

Robin, Peter, Fred many thanks.
Tulips belong to the spring! They are wunderful plants.

Fred,

Thomas has recently posted impressive pictures from T. sylvestris growing near the road in Schwäbisch Hall.

I can't resist to show my own clump grown from only 5 bulbs. I've split them and grow them on different places in the garden.
In spite this species is heavily stoloniferous, produces a lot of single leaves and it is said to be a not good flowerer - I cannot agree.
When left undisturbed in a sunny place it makes annual a lot of fun!

Here some images

Superb Armin !
you're right, just have to give some time to the plants to establish well.

I was given a few bulbs of T. sylvestris about 8-9 years ago, told that it likes partially shaded conditions.  It has expanded quite a bit, and I worry about it spreading and romping about too much, but in all those years, only saw 1 flower!  Then I learned that this plants wants to flower in the sun... you have reminded me of this fact.  I'm going to dig up some of the messy floppy-foliaged plants and move some to a sunny spot, and see what happens.  Otherwise, I want to dig them all out, the foliage is distracting in the general scheme of things.  Armin, your plants look sunny and attractive... so perhaps it is worth giving it one more chance.
