Thanks Jamie - I'll try to multiply it. Have to learn something about the methods.

Some species..

Janis, thanks for comments (later entries) corrections: not acuminata but rather a hybrid. In regard to vvedenskyi I think it might just be that the petals have distorted under glass in the heat

( Label should read T. vvedenskyi )

[Janis Ruksans]

Some species..

( Label should read T. vvedenskyi)

The first 100% not acuminata
The last - by color could be, but shape of petals - too strange for T. vvedenskeyi.

I think this is end of flowering petals

This year the spring was quite late in our area.
Currently I enjoy only very early flowering kaufmannianas. Would like to show some Z.P. Botschantzeva's kaufmanniana selections from wild.

kaufmanniana 'Utro' (transl. 'Morning')

Zhirair,
your T. kaufmannianas are looking superb!

[Boyed]

Thanks Armin!
We had a hail a few days ago, which damaged tulips and me very upset. But when the sun shines and my tulips open my soul again brightens.

[I.S.]

  For me the best one is 'Laughing Girl'

Lovely Tulips everyone.Great to see the sylvestris in the wild. These are some in mums garden (not ssp.australis). Also does anyone have a name for the other tulip which has a similar manner, growing through shrubs.

Hans,
I'm pleased to see C. versicolor and T. sylvestris ssp. australis in the wild. Nice redish colors on the sepals. Thanks for the link.

Susan,
the latter resembles T. whittallii. Appears everywere in my garden once settled.
