Tulips 2012

[Boyed]

All my Tulipa kauf. cultivars are now in full colour. 4 weeks earlier than last year.

Mark, I see the spring in your area is quite early and on time. here in my place, it is full winter with a snow cover. I suppose I will enjoy my faufmanniana tulips at the end of this month, or at the beginning of April.

One would forget the species tulipa after all those cultivars.
A few are starting their flowering after a short period of sun last week - all from the "white flower with yellow center" group:
Tulipa subbiflora from Tadjikistan, a species close to T. orythioides
Tulipa orythioides from Uzbekistan
Tulipa regelii from Kazakhstan with its unusual leaf

I think Tulipa regelii is just lovely...... where did all you folks get yours from?

[LucS]

In my case from a friend, and now I'm growing a few seedbatches in their 2nd year after germination.

[PeterT]

I bough a bulb from Janis a few years ago, It set seed last year -which I sowed. There have been two offsets in about six years, the first one I gave to a friend. I also sowed seeds from a friend last year.

[Maggi Young]

So it's not too reluctant from seed? That's good to hear.

[Armin]

cute tulips!

[PeterT]

Janis was giving some advice on seedlings last automne I think. someone posted about it germinating in the tulip thread or else "what's germinating now " I think. can't recall if it is up for me, I think one pot of seeds is. The bulb is about to flower..

Luc I couldn't dicide to obtain T. regelii bulb from Janis I'm not sure the extremely unique (and expensive) tulip fits to my climate.

Here are kinds of popular tulips of my favourites.

1. 2. Tulipa kurdica
3. 4. Tulipa humilis var. pulchella Albocaerulea Oculata Group

Wonderful flowers, Tatsuo. Mine are just starting to bud...it's nice to be able to enjoy yours already!

[Gerry Webster]

Tatsuo - very nice indeed. You must have extremely good light in your garden for the tulips to be so short.
