Tulipa turkestanica (common names: Tulip)

I thought it was a Daff until i read its name!

yes your right it does look a bit like a daff in this pic does'nt it - it also looks quite big - but it is tiny. it is only the size of a buttercup sweet little thing is'nt it, there are lots of buds on each stem too so i think it is more like a 'spray tulip' lol it's the first time i have grown this variety - glad i got them now!

Stunning A real touch of Spring.

I've got these too, but the buds havn't opened yet. Do you find the leaves go rather long and floppy and lie down? Mine are in a shady spot so this might be the reason that mine do this

You have a lovely lot of colour in your garden allready,mine is a bit bland at the moment.........................................

thanks Egg, i'm sure that yours will look lovely once it kicks in - spring does seem to have come very early here. must say i don't mind one bit! lol

mine are in semi shade, but they do seem to perk up a bit when the sun is on them so maybe, they do look quite floppy though when they are closed - they open every morning and close again of a night - pretty arn't they!

Stunning flower!
