A beautifully little early tulip, Tulipa cretica. Am I the only one with tulips this early?  :)

Thanks.
Tulipa cretica is one of very fewTulip species not hardy here. It allways makes leaves during winter and they are killed by frosts and bulbs die in 1-2 years. Tried several times and now it is out of my wish-list.

Thanks Mark and Janis,
I think it can survive in my garden.
what about T. saxatilis? does it have the same characteristics since they are from the same region?
Sincerely,
Arda

Lovely tulips Chloë; both biebersteiniana & cretica are still a couple of weeks off flowering for me, despite mild weather recently.

Here the first is always T. edulis (was Amana edulis)

Yes, it seems so - have some buds on some tulips but will need still one or two weeks for the first flower.

I grow T. cretica and T. saxatilis since many years, in the outdoor garden and spare in the frame without problem.
We have sometimes -10° for several days but they allways have survived.
T. cretica looks even better outdoor as they get more light and start to grow later.
