Tulip from trade.
Last fall I received a few bulbs and some Day Lilies from another gardener. When I planted them I had no idea what they were. So far I think an Allium has come up and now I have these Tulips(?) blooming. The blooms are huge and on some that have opened the petals have unfurled into something that reminds me of a bat in flight. The variegation is interesting and I wonder if it was crossed to look like this on purpose. Anyway what ever it is it has been a pleasure to watch and check up on daily.
Edit:
This Tulip has been IDed as a Flaming Parrot Tulip. Thanks for the help.

Hi there 2plantguys.
ReplyDeleteDiene,
Thanks so much for these bulbs they've done great and I've enjoyed them. I'm sure you'll get the hang of the blog thing too. It's easy-just like writing and e-mail everything is done for you. You just pic a name, a template and start posting. Feel free to let me know if you have any questions.
