Hi
These are called Professor de Monsseri. It is a Greigii tulip. We got them from John Scheepers. (you can google) All the flowers are from our garden or elsewhere on the farm. My wife tries to find at least a few varieties of something each year that she thinks will be photogenic. Fall before last we planted somewhere around 1000 bulbs - mostly crocii. Of course a lot of those turn out to be mouse food. It is truly beautiful around here in spring. and through the summer actually. well year round! Thanks for your interest. Enjoy!

Great shot, the contrast between the subject and background is fantastic.

Sure, Greg, if it's not too much trouble. I happen to love tulips and have never seen one like this before. BTW, where do you get all your floral subjects from? Do you visit a botanical garden, work at a florist shop, or are these in your own garden? You always have the best fresh flowers! :-)

Hi
Thanks for your comments. These are more hardy type tulips, rather than fancy ones. It just opened up in the full sun and made this shape- made for an interesting shot!
I can find out the name if you really want to know.

Hi Greg, I don't come here as often as I would like to anymore, but it's always wonderful seeing a post from you on the first page of the most recent shots. This is another brilliant floral - I am intrigued by the triangular shape that this opened tulip has revealed - very unusual. Is it a particular species that yields this shape?
