Tulipa 'Little Princess' - a marvelous dwarf rock garden tulip. It is said to be a cross between T. hageri and T. aucheriana. However, each of those species is itself in question, with T. hageri thought to be a distinct garden clone of Tulipa orphanidea complex, and T. aucheriana is a dwarf rose-pink tulip thought not to be a true species but probably a clone or hybrid with T. humilis. At any rate, this has a true "species look" to it, with brilliant copper-orange flowers on 3" (7.5 cm) stems and a light fragrance. There's a bold yellow zone at the center, with striking blue-black or green-black flares at the base, and black anthers. The outside of the flower is a lighter melon color, tinged with green. Photos by Mark McDonough, taken 5/10/03.
Two more photos from Mark McDonough. The first shows the plants st late anthesis, the flowers aged to a brilliant red, and stems lengthened to reach 6" (15 cm). The second photo showsa mature clump taken 2 years after the previous photos. Notice T. bakeri 'Lilac Wonder' in the background.
More pictures taken in Northern California. Most of my tulips were ruined this year by almost constant rain in March and early April(2006). In the first picture the buds are covered in rain drops. Then we had two days with sunshine. The first day these pictures were taken when the sun was not shining yet, but there was no rain, warm temperatures, and nice bright light. And finally the back of the flowers the next sunny day before the flowers opened fully. Photos by Mary Sue Ittner
Tulipa 'Purple Prince' - the first of my fall-planted bulbs to bloom. Photo taken in January 2003 by Jennifer Hildebrand.
Tulipa vvendskyi hybrid. An unnamed T. vvedenskyi hybrid obtained from Janis Ruksans that may have T. fosteriana or T. greigii or another tulip species in its blood. Photo by John Lonsdale.
