Tulipa 2018

Still growing

[Arda Takan]

Arda, I think that Turkey is a good country to look for wild tulips and photograph in the wild?

Yes Ian maybe. But in close proximity there is no tulip where I live.

not yet Arda, at least 6-7 years from seeds

Actually only one is seedling which is 2 or 3 years old I am not sure.
Others are mature bulbs I bought. But I am not sure how mature they are I thought it was flowering size since it is a dwarvish tulip.

the marvellous Tulipa doerfleri started to bloom while i was away.

My Tulipa saxatilis starting to bloom right now in central Portugal.
This one spreads quite well and I love them in open flower under the sun, but this has been a very wet March.

nice bouquet

I've lost label of this one, i think Janis it cames from you, a latvian hybrid.

Yup, I agree... some of the most beautiful tulips are also the most common ones.
