Tulipa 2020

[Maggi Young]

Sad news from Eric Breed that his  uncle, Wim Lemmers,  has  passed  away at the  age  of 89.

Wim Lemmers  was  a  great plantsman  commemorated  by  the fine  plant  named  in  his  honour Tulipa  lemmersii- named  by Zoon, Peterse and  J. de Groot in 2008 which you can read about from Vladimir Kolbintsev in this  IRG  from April     https://www.srgc.org.uk/logs/logdir/2011Apr281304030775IRG16_April2011.pdf

Not the  same  plant - look at  the  leaves.

This is another shot of didieri? The plant goes with 1st photo

  I think the  leaves  of the  first  plant  are  too narrow  for  didieri
