The first Tulipa in flower in the garden.
Tulipa turkestanica 'Dshizak'
-
Wow! Nothing anyway near flowering here.
-
Tulipa orithyioides, sown in 2010
-
Is that under cover, Yann?
-
Yes Ralph, i prefer to keep them protected from the mild winter we used to have
-
Seeing these lovery tulips has been a real eye opener for me, I didn't know you could have them in flower at this time of year.
-
Tulipa orithyioides, sown in 2010
So lovely - the colouring reminds me of a fine crocus!
-
Tulipa orithyioides, sown in 2010
I have never seen or heard of this before - a name to remember - I find the colouring amazing, thank you so much for showing it.
-
A couple of Tulips flowering today,
Tulipa agenensis Sharonensis and T. biflora from the Upper Negev Desert
-
Lovely Oron, my tulips are just emerging.
-
Your Tulipa agenensis is wonderful Oron. I've been reading about Tulipa systola, looks like something which might do well for me here. Do you see it in your travels?
-
Thanks guys,
Jamus, I do see Tulipa systola, it is quite rare and grows at high elevations in the Negev desert and S. Jordan.
Sorry to chill out your enthusiasm, but I have 5 years old seedlings that still have one leaf about 10 cm long, will probably need 3 more years to flower... :-\
-
Tulipa hissarica from Janis is opening.
Tulipa orithyioides now fully opened
and the common Tulipa clusiana 'Mountains Pride'
-
Me very happy........ ;D ;D (I seem to revert back to baby-talk too ::) )
First time flower on Tulipa lemmersii, sown in november 2011. Very small flower but beautifully coloured. Flower is 4 cm tall, leaves 8 cm tall and the flower is 3 cm in diameter.

It was a very good season this year.

Wonderful pix from the wild, Miriam ! Thanks for showing.
Out here, Tulipa subbiflora is now at it's peak, at only 5 cm high.
Tulipa neustruevae grown from seed.

Now there's a compliment, Maggi !
Thanks !
-
A very early flowering larger Tulipa for me.

You could go back to edit the posts and repost resized, pictures, if you would be so kind.

Tulipa stapfii is starting to show its colour, but we can already enjoy the undulated leaf.
At the same time, Tulipa orthopoda is trying to flower although it's barely above ground.
-
Tulipa polychroma (reposted with the right size)
-
Thank you! :-*

It was Oscar Wilde who said "Work is the curse of the drinking classes!"
It can be the gardener's bane also. Long days at work make it hard to catch some plants at their best. My wife told me that this tulip looked stunning when it first opened. Sadly I was unable to photograph it at its best. :-[

Lovely Ebbie.
Lots happening in the tulip collection when we got back from Scotland on Sunday evening. First some cultivars: Tulipa 'Rococco', Tulipa 'West Point', and Tulipa 'Ivory Floradale' bought at Great Dixter last year.
-
And on to the Tulipa clusiana complex. Too difficult to decipher so the photos are captioned with the names under which I acquired them.
-
A few more.
-
Tulipa bakeri MS781.
-
You have a lovely collection of Tulips Ralph.
-
Tulipa cretica, from Rannveig Wallis.
-
Thanks David. Some more: Tulipa montana in variety.

Tulipa montana also comes in yellow, rather like a Ferrari.
-
Last few. Tulipa stapfii, Tulipa sylvestris 'Tabriz' and Tulipa zenaidae.
-
Almost forgot this: Tulipa tschimganica.
-
Tulipa doerfleri from Crete
-
Very nice, Tony.
-
A few from yesterday before the welcome rain arrived: Tulipa carinata, Tulipa montana, a yellow form.
-
Tulipa orphanidea subsp. whittallii.
-
One of these is supposed to be Tulipa bakeri 'Lilac Wonder' and one Tulipa saxatilis. I can't tell the difference.
-
Some garden tulips. The first one is 'Abu Hassan'.
-
...and finally.
-

Hi Ralph,
If it "runs" and produces lots of leaves and few flowers it's likely to be T. saxatilis! ;D
cheers
fermi
-
Great show, Ralph !!
Tulipa ferganica - love it when closed.
Tulipa aucheriana - very compact
Tulipa altaica
-
Some more !
Tulipa vvedenskyi - love the curled leaf of this form.
Tulipa tetraphylla
-
Lovely tulips folks. They last no time at all in my windy garden.
-
... windy garden.
???
-
Yeh, OK then, breezy ;D
-
Very nice tulips, Luc.
-
Yeh, OK then, breezy ;D
Give the number of times your garden fence has taken off in the past, David, I was prepared to go with windy! ;D ;D
-
All things are relative I suppose Maggi, on a day when I have a couple of fence panels, delivered this morning, to fix to replace two blown into next doors garden just before Christmas.

I rest my case.
-
Back to tulips. A few from a couple of days ago, before I was struck down by this bug which makes me feel like death warmed up.
Tulipa sosnowskyi and Tulipa vvedenskyi.
-
I bought this as Tulipa albertii but I'm told it isn't.
-
I bought this as Tulipa aitchisonii var. clusianoides, which clearly it isn't. I also bought Tulipa sarracenica from the same supplier, so a label mix-up seems likely.
Update 7th May: Supplier thinks it may be T. linifolia.
-
Cold and grey today, but a few flowers: Tulipa fulgens just appearing, Tulipa vvedenskyi fully open, Tulipa sosnowskyi.
-
Wonderful tulips, Ralph. Those colours just zing!
-
Yes, even on a dull day.
-
Some very welcome rain this morning. A few more in flower: Tulipa maximowiczii, from Peter Korn; Tulipa butkowii; Tulipa carinata still looking good; Tulipa urumiensis.
-
Tulipa karabachensis, Tulipa armena, another Tulipa montana var. chrysantha, and the dubious Tulipa albertii now fully open.
-
I grow my tulips outside. Here is Tulipa saxatilis which have been at the same spot for many years.
-
Lovely tulips!
I also have some scattered around, not sure any have names but here I go :)
-
Not a brilliant year for species Tulips weatherwise. Mostly over now but this Tulipa butkowii still looking good.
-
Anyway, nice collection Ralph. This year lot's of tulips had suffered from the hot and dry spring.
-
By the way, what do you do when your tulipa have flowered and gone to seeds? do you leave them in the pot, or do you cut back vegetation and take them out of the pot?
Regards
Corrado
-
I leave them in the pots, covered by a plastic tunnel, to dry out and bake (I put bags over the seed heads to collect seed). I try to repot in late summer every second year, i.e. half the collection one year, the rest the next. I keep them covered and bone dry until February, when I remove the covers and hope for snow!

Thanks John! You have quite an amazing collection .... what compost do you use? and .... where do you buy them? Some of the species you have I have never heard ....
Best,

50/50 john Innes no 2 and sharp grit. I have lot from Janis, some from Kurt Vickery. There are other suppliers (Kevock, Paul Christian, Broadleigh, etc etc.) but it is a lottery as to whether what you get is correctly described. There are a lot of so-called specie tulips in commerce from Dutch suppliers which may have been attributable to wild species once but have been in cultivation for so long that they are best described as Genus Species Hort. I also have got some from other collectors in Europe, and seeds from Kurt and Oron Peri. As to species description, the taxonomy of Tulipa is in a bit of a mess, as the recent Kew Monograph amply demonstrates. What is a species, subspecies, variety or synonym is open to debate.

Nice to see the tulips in habitat Frazer. Where exactly were the photos taken?
A couple of late bloomers here: Tulipa sprengeri and Tulipa batalinii.
-
So many nice tulips!
It is not many doing well here. Here is one exception: Tulipa batalinii 'Bronze Charm'.

T. dasystemon
T. tarda (syn. T. urumiensis)
T. tarda

and a probable T. heterphylla
-
and I'd welcome help on this identification. In the field I thought T. ostrowskiana but now I'm not so sure - it is the leaves which cause concern as they are neither crispate nor ciliate.

That's a big tulip!

Janis would know, if he is following this topic.

Can anyone help identify the first 2 tulips. The 3d one is Tulipa acuminate and finally Tulipa clusiana chrisanta
-
and a probable T. heterphylla
Hello Frazer
This is not T. heterophylla, but looks more to T. tianschanica!
Where in Kirgizia did you find this tulip?
Your red tulip is indeed T. ostrowskiana, the most variable tulip I know .
Even the the yellow tulips sold in trade as T. tetraphylla and T. altaica belong to T. ostrowskiana
greetings

Dear Sjaak,
Thank you for your identification.
The tulip was photographed on the road into Chong-Kemon the north side of that road some 10 kms or so before entry to the valley from the main road.
I attach another photograph showing stamens and filaments etc.
I also photographed this tulip (which i'm still trying to identify from Everett) - of which there were about 10-12 on the south side of the road into Chong-Kemin under thick vegetation. As you can see the inside of the tepals was coloured. It wasn't at the same location but probably not more than 2-3kms away from the earlier T. thianshanica.
I'm happy so send a personal email with other photographs of Kyrgyz tulips, if you wish.
Groetjes/Regards

Hello Frazer
From the Chong- Kemin and further eastwards is the homeland of T. tianschanica. An also varible tulip in size 5 to 20 cm , colour yellows, yellows with a reddish outside, orange and posible red ones. And in ploidy, diploids and tetralpoids occur.
greetings

When clearing the foliage from a pot of mixed garden tulips I found that one, I think Madonna, had produced daughter bulbs at the base of the 1st leaf. I have never seen this before. Is it common? Does it say anything about the parentage of the variety?
Erle in Anglesey
Garden still recovering from Monday gale!
-
Hello Erle
Axil bulbs are normal in some cultivars as in the leaf axils are sleeping buds, sometimes they grow out to bulbs
in other cases to a second flowerstem.

Thank you Sjaak. There's always something new to learn.

Tulip time here again
Tulipa sprengeri -can you have too much of a good thing? I can't see anything else growing there and can't get in to pull out the weeds without standing on the tulips
-
Impossible to have too much of that thing, Roma! I've said it before and I will say it again - your spread of Tulipa sprengeri is one of the loveliest displays I can imagine.
-
How wonderful show! I can't wait for my one year old seedlings to reach the flowering size, but hopefully some day they will also flower here. Some of the seeds were from the seed exchange, perhaps they were from your garden?

Very nice, Fermi. Tulips are something seldom seen or spoken about in this country; I think the "florist" varieties are sill imported for planting in the cooler regions of SA as "once off" colour in early spring. I have a few pots of young T. linifolia seedlings which I hope will flower, someday, before I'm much older and greyer! ;) ;D
-
Good luck, Rogan - tulips from seed do take patience!
Here are some more in our garden:
Tulipa montana x2
Tulipa 'Little Princess'

Tulipa vvedenskyi 'Tangerine Dream'

I always think your Tulips are happy in your garden, fermi.

I always think your Tulips are happy in your garden, fermi.
I hope so! Mostly they look after themselves because they like the climate and we try to keep them dry in the summer when they are dormant.
Though they take about 7 years from seed I'm always getting some to try!
These are seedlings raised from Tulipa clusiana 'Lady Jane' from the Seedex,
cheers

Tulipa clusiana 'Cynthia'
Tulipa hageri 'Piccolo' (looks more like a pale version of 'Little Princess' so might be a hybrid?)
