Tulipa
amana edulis always early, always reclining so elegantly ;D
-
In January!!!
They do tend to loll about rather - we always blame the low light levels in our glass house - but I'm sure Ashley's glass is cleaner than ours! Has anyone got any theories on why it always flops- or how to remedy it?
Does it tend to grow through something in the wild to support it a bit?
-
Not sure about the glass Maggi. Yes maybe it grows through other plants, or perhaps we all grow the same indolent clone ;D
I'd love to find a source of seed, preferably wild-collected, but have never seen it listed anywhere.
-
it's Tulipa edulis (Miq.) Baker rather..... ::)

It's caused by the short daylight I guess. My plants are just visible at the moment because I keep them unheated. I'll posts some photos in the future if I remember...
-
Ours do not come up and flower for quite a while yet, so the daylight is longer then......

Thanks Dima; senior moment :-[
Corrected above now.

Amount of light in combination with temperature ?
-
Amount of light in combination with temperature ?
I'd agree with that, except Ashley should be doing better on both counts and he still has the problem.....
Maybe it is just lying low to hide, so we won't eat it? ::)
-
I'm sure you're right Luc.
The combination of mild temperatures and low light (not just latitude but cloudy skies too) is probably the critical combination that attenuates most winter bulbs here.
(Mild temp x good light) or (low temp x low light) might keep them more in character.
Next year I'll postpone first watering to late December in the hope of delaying them until spring and thereby getting tighter growth.
Of course wet leaves and algae on the greenhouse roof don't help much either :P ;D
-
Ashley, you are right. Wilford cites that Amana edulis "needs a little warmth and some sunshine to open fully, and in the short, dull days of winter the stems rapidly elongate, causing blooms to flop over".

Tulipa agenensis in the Northern Mediterranean coast in Israel is at its best today.
Due to very good rain this winter we see some extraordinary sites this early spring.
Photos were taken this afternoon.
-
As I'm always searching something different, found these forms.

You are lucky Oron lovely to see these in nature
-
:o - Oron, thanks a lot for showing those great pictures!
-
Fantastic pictures Oron ! did you swim too ? ;) the group effect should be stunning.
-
Thanks, Oron. Phantastic!
Janis
-
Oron
That's a red tulip I like - fantastic colour
-
Oron,
what a brilliant red color 8)
Thanks for showing.
-
Oron
A splendid scarlet. Thanks for the pictures. What was the height 25-30cm?
-
Tulipa agenensis started to flower also here in Spain (with 8 petals).
-
T.orthopoda flowering outdoors here in Kent UK now. Everything late due to cold February.
-
Welcome j-r-c funny old year already, isn't it? Your T. orthopoda flower there in Kent would still be early for us up in the North East of Scotland :)
The foliage is a good colour too, isn't it?
-
Yes, nice foliage, but late. Attached in photo of T. biflora on 1st March last year.
-
Tulipa biflora and Tulipa kurdica just emerging outdoors here in Kent today.
-
Oron
A splendid scarlet. Thanks for the pictures. What was the height 25-30cm?
Thanks all,
Frazer,
They vary much, from 10-45cm, depending on exposure to wind and sun.
-
The amazing Tulipa cypria is in bloom;
last year the first seedling has flowered , this year four ,
difference between lasts year plant and the others is obvious.
-
Incredible color, especially with daylight ;D
-
Oron (or anybody!) - where can I buy bulbs of T. aganensis and T. cypria?
-
Winter has returned here in Kent!

Fred,
I always admire your wonderful photographs of exceptional high quality. They make an impression as if you see the things in the mirror. Suppose you have very good professional camera.
-
another one, taller, T. agenensis sap. sharonensis
-
Here is Tulipa (Amana) edulis photographed 2 days ago in my sandbed. It seems this species has a disposition to turn upwards. Nevertheless outside much prettier than inside -
see last pic!

Tulipa doerfleri near Spili Crete today. Temperature 26c!
-
Lucky Guy !!! 2°C here ... :( and no Tulipa doerfleri
-
Tulipa bakeri on the Omalos plain. There were thousands of them in full bloom
-
When we see Tulips in the wild in Turkey they're not often growing in turf like that - is this more common in Crete, Tony ?
-
Very nice tulips Tony,
T. doerfleri resembles T. orphanidea and T. whittallii.
Does anybody knows about their phylogenetic relationship?
-

Maggi
the bakeri were growing in fields with a lot of grass but doerfleri are in fields of some sort of grain crop whilst cretica is on a stony hillside amongst various orchids and most were finished
-
Thanks for the info, Tony. :)
-
Familiar places and plants Tony . :) Good to see them again .....You have to be there on the right time . Sometimes it depends on few days or a week. Two years ago we have been there only 1 week earlier and none of the bakeri's on the Omalos plain was flowering . The same with doerfleri near Spili . Tulipa cretica on the other hand was at is best that week.
Are there stil many doerfleri's ? During our last visit I was thinking that they are threatened over there ....
-
Some Tulipa cretica in flower here .....

Going Wild for Tulips
For anyone with an interest in wild tulips pictured in nature I can thoroughly recommend this little booklet by Eric Breed.
There are 42 species beautiful photographed in their habitat in for instance Kazakhstan, Kirgizstan, Turkmenistan, Iran, but also in Crete and Switzerland.
The photos are made over several years by Eric Breed, Wim Lemmers, Marijn van den Brink, Sjaak de Groot, Arie Peterse and most trips were guided by Vladimir Kolbintsjev.
The price of this little booklet is € 9,95 excl. p. p.
Details on ordering etc. can be obtained from Eric Breed: info@tulippictures.eu
-
Kris
I had also heard they were threatened but there are thousands in the fields around the 'Spili bump'.I think that many years a lot do not flower and this gives the impression there are not many plants but this is not so. We have been over a period of 20 years and nothing has changed.

I also spread the good news to my wife ....it's Ingrid favorite because of the red colour I suppose ...

Thank you, Janis! It's a pleasure to receive compliments from a bulb guru.
Yesterday I was studying your new website, enjoying the photographs. Very interesting! Congratulations!!!

Tulipa humilis 'Tete a tete" blooming outside these days. The flower looks like it's springing from the ground!
-
Well, we had the second coldest March on record, and last week we had the coldest April day for 50 years. despite that a few Tulips opened during brief sunny intervals. T. subbiflora on 2nd April, T. polychroma Hort. also on the 2nd, T. bifloriformis 'Bashkisilsai' on the 6th. Hope for more if the weather warms up.
-
I know how you feel Ralph, it's still very cold here. Does you good when the shines shines like that and the flowers open ,though, doesn't it? 8)
-
Very nice tulips Tony,
T. doerfleri resembles T. orphanidea and T. whittallii.
Does anybody knows about their phylogenetic relationship?
Armin
The tulips are subgenus Eriostemones (Boiss) section Sylvestres (Baker), Tulipa doerfleri is considered to be a triploid subspecies and T. whittallii a tetraploid ssp of T. orphanidea. There is also a possibility that
T. orphanidea may be, according to cytological evidence, an old hybrid of T. hageri x T. sylvestris.
It all seems very incestuous, however the good news is that Kew is publishing a Tulipa monograph (the first since 1940!) in May (cost £37.50 from Amazon) and it should contain the results of flow cytometry, building on earlier work by Zonneveld.
Roll on May!
FRazer
-
Frazer,
many thanks for your investigative works!
It brings some light in the darkness :)
Let's wait for May then.

My tulip(s) growing freely.. ;D I only wanted to share..

One from the garden this week Tulipa 'Little Beauty'
-
Tulipa schrenkii Hort. (Kurt Vickery tells me it is a Dutch clone, not the true species. Nice though.)
-
Nice tulips from everybody 8)
Can you identify please my tulip? - It belongs to T. turkistanica / bifloriformis complex.
This clone usually flowers with one single flower per stem. It is stoloniferous and extreme robust.
No sign of losses or damages by black frost or long cold winters.
I never lift them for summer dormancy.
-
Tulipa schrenkii Hort. (Kurt Vickery tells me it is a Dutch clone, not the true species. Nice though.)
Yes it is nice.
I have 3-year old seedlings from an exchange that are far too green and luxuriant to be right :(
Could yours be turkestanica Armin?
By the way, your T. clusiana are looking lovely here this year 8)
-
Tulipa schrenkii Hort. (Kurt Vickery tells me it is a Dutch clone, not the true species. Nice though.)
Me and some of my colleagues also supposed that, until we observed some similar specimen in the wild. In Crimea there are types resembling the Dutch one in colouration among ordinary red and yellow ones.
-
In my greenhouses only earliest tulips are blooming now.
The first two pictures are from Tulipa biflora collected last spring in Kazahstan.
This Tulipa dasystemon was originally collected by my friend Arnis Seisums in Uzbekistan.
Tulipa dasystemonoides I got from Arnis, too.
And as last Tulipa turkestanica from Oudzhasai collected together with Arnis in Uzbekistan.

Ashley,
I have 2 different clones. The one shown I've bought under the name T. biflora which it is not.
I thought of T. turkestanica (of commerce) all the times - but comparing with Janis image it does not much either.
Also T. bifloriformis seems not matching. :-\
-
Here are a couple more flowering outside here in Kent today. Tulipa sogdiana and Tulipa berkariense (nomen nudem - not formally published), both from Janis.
-
Sunny and 24oC here today! T. humilis 'Albocaerulea' opned its flowers.
-
Some tulips today :
1-2 : Tulipa greigii "Sunset"
3-4 : Tulipa humilis albocoerulea oculata alba
5 : Tulipa kurdica
-
Spring is coming here too :)
Tulipa from Syria, I think it's Tulipa systola
-
Tulipa regelii flowering today
-
Nice collection JRC.

Yes, I understand - sometimes a man's just gotta do, what a man's gotta do.......

a jewel Ralph !!!
-
Tulipa iliensis today. Kurt Vickery tells me this isn't "right" for the species and is probably a Dutch clone.

I don't think so; Kurt tells me that true T. iliensis is tiny, around 4" tall; most of these seem much bigger.
-

Thanks, Fred!
I grow over 500. Could grow more, but I just collect according to my personal requirements and test only.
-
500 is not too bad ;D :o
I hope the snow will not damage your plants.
-

May I suggest a visit by Tulip lovers to the pages of Plantes Passion, where you wll see some fantastic photos of tulips, in solitary splendour and en masse from several French Forumists who are well known here.... Vincent26, Bulbissime and Zephirine....... http://plantes-passion.forumactif.fr/t4665-tulipa-2013 (http://plantes-passion.forumactif.fr/t4665-tulipa-2013)
- it wouldn't hurt to check out the Narcissus page either, to see large groups of Narcissus dubius! 8) 8)
-
You want to get your nose in that- the scent is delicious!
Mmm, yes - honey!
-
Two more today: T. kolpakowskiana and T. dubia 'Beldersai'
-
Some more, all Dutch origin: Tulipa heweri Hort., Tulipa dasystemon Hort., Tulipa urumiensis 'Little Star'
-
Tulipa greigii 'Corsage'.
-
And Tulipa greigii, the species, a gift from Kurt Vickery. A big plant, 14 inches/36 cms tall.

A couple of pictures of a not very exciting tulip I collected in Turkey in 1990 near Cerkes which is East of Bolu
Tulipa sylvestris I think
-
Tony
..but grace and beauty outlast excitement; a charming form.
-
Tulipa aucheriana
-
Two more: Tulipa tarda 'Kashka Su' from Janis, and Tulipa stapfii Hort., of Dutch origin. Kurt Vickery tells me that this is no longer a valid name.
-
And Tulipa greigii, the species, a gift from Kurt Vickery. A big plant, 14 inches/36 cms tall.
Now fully open - magnificent!
-
Tuilpa tschimganica Hort., another one that Kurt Vickery tells me is a Dutch clone.
-
Yet another of Dutch origin - Tulipa clusiana var. cashmeriana
-
T. dubia 'Beldersai', from Janis. This interesting orange variant opened today - compare to the yellow one I posted recently.
-
Mr carpenter may I ask how many T. species you have?
-
Well, sixty-five and counting, but many of of Dutch origin so of unknown wild provenance, and this also includes a few Cultivars.
-
Tulipa montana Yellow Form. Of Dutch origin.
-
Some lovely plants showing here and many well ahead of mine. Here is a little one that I like T bithnica a little bit from the Wallis list some years ago
-
Some tulips blooming in my greenhose now:
Tulipa albertii from Kazahstan, near Alma-Ata
Tulipa bifloriformis from Nuratau, Timurlan Gate in Uzbekistan, they grew on large rock and were cllected in strong wind not allowing to picture
This unusual Tulipa fosteriana was collected in Agalik, Uzbekistan and is named after my first wife
Tulipa hewerii comes from Afganistan and is very good grower, strongly resembles T. praestans (by bulb sheets) and something looks as yellow variant of it
This Tulipa humilis was collected in Iran by Arnis Seisums, between those was one pure white, too.
-
Some more tulips:
Tulipa kurdica close relative of humilis, comes from Willem van Eeden
Tulipa lemmersii was described very recently - very beautiful tulip species
Tulipa stapfii I got from Norman Stevens (Cambridge Bulbs)
Tulipa systola comes from N Iraq and was collected there by Henrik Zetterlund
and as last today Tulipa zenaidae from Kirghizstan, collected at Kashka-Su
-
Your flowers are opening at great speed now, Janis!

Janis,
phantastic tulips. I'm having difficulties to distinguish T. bifloriformis from T. turkestanica. Can you tell us the key differences?
I also vague remember having read somewhere the dutch commercial clone of T. turkestanica are all T. bifloriformis???

Not easy. I can't separate by key prepared by Vvedenskyi "Conspectus Florae Asiae Maediae"
Better is key made by Silina - "Ornamental Perennials for Openg ground in USSR. Monocots".
By Silina (and by key in Flora USSR)
Bulb cover sheets inside hairy throughout - Tulipa bifloriformis
Bulb cover sheets inside hairy at upper half only - T. turkestanica
By Botschantzeva - anthers yellow - turkestanica
anthers black - bifloriformis - but it is not true - both have forms with yellow and with black anthers
-
Weather turned nasty again here yesterday so not much happening. Tulipa celsiana Hort. just opening (Dutch origin), also Tulipa aucheriana, from Janis. And I'm off the Canada tomorrow for two and a half weeks - no doubt all the remaining tulips will perform while I'm away due to our late season - grrr! And not just the tulips....there's never a good time to be away from the garden!

Have a good trip, Ralph.
We're thinking the same about being away from our garden for just eleven days while we go to the Czech conference- what will we miss by being away? :-\
-
Have agreat trip Ralph, hope you're taking the camera with you?
-
Tulipa altaica
-
My greenhouse today - blooms tulips and juno irises.
On next three pictures is one of most difficult in cultivation tulip - Tulipa behmiana. It was collected near Alma-Ata where it is growing in desert on sandy soils. Bulbs lie very deep - more than half meter and it was very difficult to reach. Fortunately spring waters washed some soil away and it was possible to reach them digging from side of some bank. Note pendant buds before blooming, on other two pictures closed and open flower. As I'm growing Tulipa regelii I hope to success with behmiana, too. I have only yellow form, but in nature it is very variable in colour.
On last picture Tulipa albertii - another yellow form from near Alma-Ata, Kazahstan.
More tulip pictures are on my home-page.
-
Some red beauties - Tulipa affinis from Sjaak, then micheliana from Kara-Karga (Uzbekistan) and two aquisitions of Tulipa micheliana from Iran. It seem nthat correct name must be Tulipa undulatifolia var. micheliana. Is it really so? I would not like to agree with this name-change in last Curtis's Botanical Magazine.

Janis,
many thanks, very interesting. This is a new info to me.
May I ask your personal opinion? Do you believe the hairs inside cover sheets is a sufficient key to justify two species looking so similar?
Independent of any further replies - I'll check my two different clones when dormant for the features. :)
T. (undulatifiolia var.) micheliana is stunning! :o
-
Janis,

I think that it is useful. They are different by DNA, so they are different species. The hairs on tunics is easy checkable feature
-
Many thanks Janis, now it explains it sufficiently to me.

For some reason, Boyed's photos do not enlarge, nor do the links beneath them lead to an available page - I am not sure why this is so - we must be content with viewing the thumbnails pix.
MANY THANKS to Jef for his solution to the problem - all fixed now, I think!
Great to be able to enjoy the photos at their best.

Yes, this works.

Thank you Jozef, this has solved the problem - I am VERY grateful to you for your help :-* :-* :-*

Maggi,
Maybe here the web-site where I uploaded pictures, is not supported. I posted the same pix in the Russian forum and everything worked O.K. Yesterday I noticed that here the pictures don't enlarge.

Some nice (old) tulips there, Zhirair! I like the form and colours of Skif and Kamennyj Tzvetok 8)

I didn't know that wild tulips grew in North America, but apparently Tulipa sylvestris can be found in Ontario and some of the New England states in the US. Here it is growing on the Niagara escarpment in Waterdown, near Hamilton Ontario.

Ottawa Tulip Festival
The Canadian Tulip Festival is a tulip festival, held annually in May in Ottawa, Canada. The festival claims to be the world's largest tulip festival, displaying over one million tulips, with attendance of over 500,000 visitors annually. Large displays of tulips are planted throughout the city, and the largest display of tulips is found in Commissioners Park on the shores of Dow's Lake, and along the Rideau Canal with 300,000 tulips planted there alone.
In 1945, the Dutch royal family sent 100,000 tulip bulbs to Ottawa in gratitude for Canadians having sheltered Princess Juliana and her daughters for the preceding three years during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands, in the Second World War. The most noteworthy event during their time in Canada was the birth in 1943 of Princess Margriet to Princess Juliana at the Ottawa Civic Hospital. The maternity ward was declared to be officially a temporary part of international territory, so that she would be born in no country and would inherit only her Dutch citizenship from her mother. In 1946, Juliana sent another 20,500 bulbs requesting that a display be created for the hospital, and promised to send 10,000 more bulbs each year.
While the Netherlands continues to send 20,000 bulbs to Canada each year (10,000 from the Royal Family and 10,000 from the Dutch Bulb Growers Association), by 1963 the festival featured more than 2 million, and today sees nearly 3 million tulips purchased from Dutch and Canadian distributors.

A few more Tulips flowering here, despite the dull weather: Tulipa saxatilis Hort., Tulipa bakeri 'Lilac Wonder', and a rather washed-out looking Tulipa acuminata (all of Dutch origin).
-
Probably the last two to flower this year: Tulipa batalinii (Dutch origin) and Tulipa butkowii from Janis.

Does anyone know of a stockist of Tulipa 'Big Smile' a stunning yellow?

Tulipa sprengeri
Much better this year. Last year there was so much rain and wind most of them got botrytis and did not look good.

Does anyone know of a stockist of Tulipa 'Big Smile' a stunning yellow?
I have been growing this wonderful tulip for over 10 years. Indeed, it is a stunning one, having sturdy stems and huge blooms. It is an insterpecific hybrid, triploid, cross of SLG 'Mrs. John T. Scheepers' x eichlerii 'Excelsa'. It has a striped sport, called 'Rhapsody of Smiles'. One of its best feautures is high resistance to Tulip Breaking virus.
You can loot at ts photos in my web-site:

Almost as beautiful as the natural flower: an exquisite backgammon board made by the Turquoise Mountain workshop in Kabul. The wood has been inlaid with other woods and semi-precious stones such as lapis lazuli to replicate (stylized) tulips.

they're exquiste - almost wish I could get interested in backgammon! ;D
here's a real tulip in flower in the rock garden,

Fermi,
you have a fine collection of tulips - like the image of T. saxatilis.
It is one of the a very robust species for me without the need of annual lifting.

The Open Eye Gallery has an exhibition of the suite of eight tulip prints from the portfolio Tulips and Tulipomania by Rory McEwen (1932-1982).
From the website : "The volume of the same title by Wilfrid Blunt featuring 16 colour plates of paintings by McEwen, of tulips grown by members of the Wakefield and North of England Tulip Society, will also be available to view.
The large format plates shown in this exhibition were printed in 1976 and are all individually signed by McEwen. Wilfrid Blunt stated he was “perhaps the most gifted artist to pass through my hands”. His ‘plant portraits’ are exquisite botanical recordings, combining science and art.
[attachimg=1]
Tulips : Bessie, Columbine, Habit de Noce, James Wild
Julia Farnese, Mable, Helen Josephine, Sam Barlow - larger pix are available on the Open Eye website.
Rory McEwen was born in Scotland, and studied at Eton College and Cambridge University. As well as a floral painter, he was a talented and influential folk musician. McEwen’s mother Bridget Mary was the granddaughter of John Lindley, the botanist and illustrator who saved the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew from demolition in 1840. A major exhibition of McEwen’s works, The Colours of Reality runs this year at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew".

Ralph, Maggi,
Thanks for the link. It was very interesting for me and I studied the articles very carefully.
I should add that this tulip doesn't grow only in Norway. It survived in many gardens of the villages in Western Ukraine. I have a friend (tulip fellow) there and we always exchange pictures. He always visits the gardens of nearest to him villages and photographs the old tulips which survived from old times and grow without lifting for many years. They all behave like neo-tulips. Many such type of tulips survived in our local gardens in Armenia as well. Currently I grow over 25 neotulip-like domestic varieties, which are all very late bloomers and don't require lifting at all. They can grow without care even for 100 years, they don't produce seeds as well. I show one of the pictures of my Ukrainian friend, which he took this spring. It closely resembles tulipa norvegica. I am almost certain it is the same tulip.

some more pix of ancient tulips my friend photographed this year in local gardens

Hello Zhirair,
I thought you would be able to comment on this matter.
Your friend's photos show some very robust tulips- how wonderful that they are so long-lived.
-
more with interesting coloration
-
They are very beautiful, and remarkably strong - do any nurseries sell them?
-
Flowering this week in the rock garden,
Tulipa albertii/vvedenskyi with Tulipa eichleri in the background,
cheers

This is the best flowering we've had on Tulipa aucheriana,
cheers
fermi
-
Tulipa whitallii, which is "running" through part of the rock garden, but only setting one or two blooms! It may need to be "coralled"!
cheers

This is the tulip which has been in the trade in Australia for ages as T. hageri but Mark McD identified it as the hybrid between T.hageri and T. humilis, 'Little Princess', I think,

Anne,
Unfortunately, they are not offered in sale at all. The ones, I've shown, I am not sure are preserved even in Holland.
-
Zhirair,
you need to avert your eyes as you won't like the pic I'm about to post! :o
This was a plain red lily-flowered tulip, I think, but it hasn't flowered for a couple of years; this year it has opened looking like something out of a Dutch Master's painting!
A shame it has become virused as I really like the lily-flowered tulips!
cheers
fermi
-
Fermi,
It means that you have virus in your garden. You should think of a source and destroy it. Besides, you should avoid removing weeds during vegetation in tulip beds, as this is very often a reason of spreading virus mechanically. Weeds should be removed in autumn or in early spring when the spouts start to appear.
-
Thanks for the advice, Zhirair, fortunately this one is not close to other tulips.
Some good news, now.
I got this tulip more than 10 years ago and it has finally flowered again!
I got it as Tulipa hageri "Splendens" and it certainly is splendid to have it bloom again; it multiplies well but previously the buds have aborting before opening, so this year must've seen all its requirements met.
It's growing through a carpet of Oxalis flava!
cheers

-
Thanks for the advice, Zhirair, fortunately this one is not close to other tulips.
Fermi,
It doesn't that much matter that if it grows far from other tulips or not. I meant that main virus preaders are rather we humans (our hands, instruments and shoes) than insects, during working in the garden (removing weeds and touching the plants and making mechanical damages), by stepping accidentally on the plants leaves, etc.

A couple of forms of Tulipa linifolia seen at our Rock Garden Group at FCHS on the weekend,

Re: Tulipa saracenica/sarracenica, one of the Neo-tulipae from Savoy. Which is correct? Prudhomme (Etude des tulipes de France et de Suisse, Société linnéenne de Lyon, 1996) has T. sarracenica, as does Wilford (Tulips, Timber Press, 2006). The International Plant Names Index (IPNI) has T. saracenica (http://www.ipni.org/ipni/advPlantNameSearch.do?find_family=&find_genus=tulipa&find_species=saracenica&find_infrafamily=&find_infragenus=&find_infraspecies=&find_authorAbbrev=&find_includePublicationAuthors=on&find_includePublicationAuthors=off&find_includeBasionymAuthors=on&find_includeBasionymAuthors=off&find_publicationTitle=&find_isAPNIRecord=on&find_isAPNIRecord=false&find_isGCIRecord=on&find_isGCIRecord=false&find_isIKRecord=on&find_isIKRecord=false&find_rankToReturn=all&output_format=normal&find_sortByFamily=on&find_sortByFamily=off&query_type=by_query&back_page=plantsearch (http://www.ipni.org/ipni/advPlantNameSearch.do?find_family=&find_genus=tulipa&find_species=saracenica&find_infrafamily=&find_infragenus=&find_infraspecies=&find_authorAbbrev=&find_includePublicationAuthors=on&find_includePublicationAuthors=off&find_includeBasionymAuthors=on&find_includeBasionymAuthors=off&find_publicationTitle=&find_isAPNIRecord=on&find_isAPNIRecord=false&find_isGCIRecord=on&find_isGCIRecord=false&find_isIKRecord=on&find_isIKRecord=false&find_rankToReturn=all&output_format=normal&find_sortByFamily=on&find_sortByFamily=off&query_type=by_query&back_page=plantsearch)) as does eMonocot (http://www.emonocot.org/taxon/urn:kew.org:wcs:taxon:289626 (http://www.emonocot.org/taxon/urn:kew.org:wcs:taxon:289626)). If it means The Saracen's Tulip it should be one "r". So T. saracenica it is?
-
An interesting point, Ralph - but this tulip, found in Savoie and described originallyby a French botanist (Perrier) leads to the conclusion that the Saracen connection comes from the french 'Sarrazin' rather than the English 'Saracen' ( - in the same way as the genus Sarracenia comes from Michel Sarrazin, an early 18th century Quebec botanist and surgeo).
It seems that IPNI and the KEW Plant List prefer the anglicised version!
-
Yes, but it seems Perrier published it as Tulipa saracenica, (Bulletin de l'Herbier Boissier Ser. II. 5: 507. 1905)
-
Yes, that's my point - he will have been familiar with Sarrazin but seems to have gone down the anglicised route- since he was surely familiar with the likely preference from the authorities!
For the genus sarracenia they stuck with the name of the person - not that they always do!
-
Our last tulip for the season, I think; we got this from Marcus Harvey as Tulipa aff sprengeri
cheers
fermi
-
A striking brick red, Fermi !!
-
Yes, but it seems Perrier published it as Tulipa saracenica, (Bulletin de l'Herbier Boissier Ser. II. 5: 507. 1905)
I confirm : Tulipa saracenica Perrier
-
Right, that's all the Tulips planted!
-
Just the fifty pots, Ralph ? - cutting back are you? ;D ;)
Thanks for the Aesculus seed picture , by the way 8)
-
You actually counted them? Actually there are as many again under the plastic tunnel to the right!
-
Long awaited monograph has arrived - some serious reading now required!
-
it's Tulipa edulis (Miq.) Baker rather..... ::)
Looks like we will have to get used to calling it Amana edulis again, acording to the latest research (Christenhusz et al, 2013): they say that Amana, Erythronium and Tulipa form a closely related group and Amana is distinct from Tulipa.
-
Ralph, I'm curious (and very Impressed) by all those pots of tulips because I can't see any labels. Have you got a clever system or are they all the same?
-
No clever system. They're all labelled!
