The shape and color are very similar to Tulipa sylvestris. In any case, in photo.

Except maybe the inside? Is it different from this one?

These photos are from April 2016 in my garden. Not this year.

biebersteiniana is synonymous of sylvestris.

However the eastern europe and KZ forms are always brown-green and 20-25cm max height. Those sylvestris from western europe are 25-40cm. I grow 9 differents forms of sylvestris and height is always a determining caracteristic.

Thank you for these details Yann, I thought there was a resemblance to what I know. On the other hand, I did not know that there were so many different forms.

I'll be excused to intervene here Yann although I don't know much about Tulipa in general.

Only because I got few seeds of a Tulipa scythica had to do a bit of research about the species. It seems Tulipa biebersteiniana Schult. & Schult.f. is the name applied for eastern forms with distribution in European part of Russia to Anatolia (syn. T. scythica and T. graniticola).

Tulipa sylvestris is kept as a different species. But I will leave you to do more research about this :D ;)

The size of the plant, that of the flower are important to know who it is. In addition, image of the foliage too.
There are thousands of cultivars of cultivated tulips, it may be difficult to give it its name ...  ;)

Maybe you know it with its old name : Tulipa raddii was known as Tulipa praecox.
It's spreading with drageons (so, it gives lots of bulbs) and usualy it is not very floriferous.

My Rembrandt Tulips are flowering:

They resemble the Tulips on a painting by Rembrandt: https://www.tripadvisor.de/LocationPhotoDirectLink-g188590-d189379-i60406937-Rijksmuseum-Amsterdam_North_Holland_Province.html#60406937 (https://www.tripadvisor.de/LocationPhotoDirectLink-g188590-d189379-i60406937-Rijksmuseum-Amsterdam_North_Holland_Province.html#60406937)
Dieses Foto von Rijksmuseum Amsterdam wurde von TripAdvisor zur Verfügung gestellt

As far as I was told the pattern is not a result of a breeding, but the bulbs are infected by a special virus. The disease makes the pattern. The result is, that every flower is different from another. But because these plants are sick, they do only live for a few years.

They are virused indeed. Keep them away from other bulbs cause the virus can be passed on to other plants very easily, by touch (humans or animals) or by vectors (aphids,...) and most other plants will not respond so well to being infected. They do grow and multiply very well, though... they are multiplied by growing side bulbs to flowering size....I've got 10 pots full of different Rembrandts (kept well apart and treated with a systemic pesticide) and every year I have more and more bulbs. Your cultivar is 'Absalon', by the way!

My mother used to plant Rembrandt tulips and parrot tulips more than 60 years ago and she had them always in her flower beds surrounded by all the other flowers. I've never heard that it did harm to any plant. Let's wait and see.

No worries then, you'll see what happens, it might be in the open garden they don't live very long, mine are lifted from their pots every year and stored dry during summer.

De hessenhof does sell exquisite beauties, indeed!

Tulipa clusiana ex 'Tinka' grown from SRGC Seedex 2007.
First flowering and appear to be consistently dwarf with clear yellow and reddish exterior.
Can't be named 'Tinka' as it from seed - but is it distinct enough to name? 'Thylacine'? ;)
cheers

I don't know what you have to groan about, Ashley, when you got to see them in the wild ;D.

Tulipa stapfii is now flowering; numbers increasing nicely from a single bulb planted a few years ago,

Fermi it looks like your tulips like your soil and climate, the foliage is perfect no sign of deseases.

Yann,
I don't show pics of the slug-ravaged foliage! ;D

Here is Tulipa clusiana 'Lady Jane' which I got from David Glenn at Lambley Nursery - presumably  he was able to import the authentic plant,

Beautiful clusiana Fermi; surely one of the most elegant tulips.
Often I've admired how your more 'mediterranean' conditions suit bulb-growing, so didn't expect that you'd have to struggle with slugs.  Here, especially at night, they remind me of vast wildebeest herds from wildlife documentaries about the Serengeti  ::) ;D

How does one tell the difference between Tulipa dasystemon and Tulipa tarda? Some commercial bulbs available in Canada are listed as 'Tulipa dasystemon tarda' just to add to the confusion. Is there a difference?
Title: Re: Tulipa 2017
Post by: Tulipaholic on October 02, 2017, 04:32:04 PM
Hello Gordon

There is not much  chance that you can buy real T. dasystemon, only a few specialist Eastern European nurseries sells real T. dasystemon.
The tulip in common sold as T. dasystemon is a form of T. neustrueva, this is an early flowering tulip, mostly single flowered and with plain yellow flowers on a stem without hairs. T. tarda is multi flowered up to fife flowers on a stem, yellow with white tips on the tepals, and hairy stems. T. dasystemon tarda is a fake name, it are two different species.

Thank you Sjaak, I assume then that I have Tulipa tarda, since my plants have multiple flowers,  the floral segments are yellow with white tips.

Hi Ashley,
I was also surprised by the presence of slugs but we do use a lot of organic mulches which provide adequate hiding places for them. Strangely we don't have a lot of snails!

Another type of the Lady Tulip is Tulipa clusiana var chrysantha 'Tubergen's gem'
