Finally for today, the very tiny Tulipa neustruevae




As you can see, I am letting grass and weeds grow in my tulip pots, for three reasons: 1) to partially reproduce the meadow conditions in which many tulip species grow; 2) they will help to regulate the moisture in the pots, hopefully not too wet or dry; and, primarily, 3) I'm really very lazy.

That's a beautiful tulip Yann, I really love Tulipa clusiana var. stellata, it's one I want to try next year, they should do well in my climate zone. Thank you for sharing.
