Eliza Waters 
Now that is a unique flower.
Thank you, Greg. The species tulips lately have been stealing the show from the overblown hybrids. 😉
Very unusual, Eliza… really stunning colour!
Thank you, Anita. I’m in love with this little beauty!
I can see why!
These are very pretty indeed. We do not see many tulips here.
Thank you, Anne. I imagine they don’t grow well in your climate, as they need cold dormancy for several months in order to bloom.
We certainly don’t have that.
Glorious! How to brighten anyone’s day!
🙂 Thanks, Allison!
Beautiful! Does it grow from a bulb? I think tulips are bulb plants, which is why I can’t grow them here in our warm climate. That’s why it’s so lovely to have the opportunity to admire yours. 🙂
Thank you, Joanne. Yes, tulips grow from bulbs and need cold dormancy in order to bloom. Some warm climate folks refrigerate the bulbs for three months then pot them up, but they still need relatively cool temps (5-10C) to then grow and bloom.
We might have two cold days below 10C here each winter, but at least I can admire your flowering bulb plants. 🙂
They’re like happy little faces.
Yes, I love this little gem!
Spring candy!!
Yes! 🙂
beautiful colour, I bought a plant for the church, let me see if I can spell it kalanchoes? because of the pretty colour of the flowers. Meant to come home and see if that plant could be put outdoors..I got it at a supermarket on my way yesterday … couldn’t resist the colour.. and here you are today, with your happy offerings..
Thank you, Dymoon. Kalanchoes are an indoor plant here in the north. They will bloom every winter, one of the few plants that reliably do so.
Wonderful tulips Eliza and such a gorgeous colour!
Thank you, Xenia!
A different and very cute tulip.
Thank you, I fell in love with these, so pretty.
So cheerful! Did you plant the bulbs in the pot last fall?
Thanks, yes, I did. I like having forced bulbs in the sunspace towards the end of winter to get me through until the real outdoor spring arrives. 🙂
I love them. Beautiful.
Thank you, Glenys!
These are lovely. Amazing how many different types of tulips there are. 😊
Thank you, Irene. I’ve become enamored with species tulips over the past few years. This apricot cultivar is a winner. 🙂
What a glorious burst of color! May I link to this post on my blog on Monday?
Of course! Thanks much! 🙂
Thanks, Eliza!
I love this tulip! Tulips with deeper colors in the center really get my attention! The color is wonderful, and (aside from lilies) I don’t see a lot of deep orange in flowers. Thanks for the slide show!
Thank you!
What a gorgeous flower!
Thank you, Debra!
Not typically my favorite color, but what a lovely specimen!
Thank you, Debbie. I’ve grown to love the apricot shades particularly the past few years.
This new tulip is colorful and beautiful!
Thank you, Hien!
I love this one. Such a fabulous colour. It reminds me of one I grow called Tulipa batalinii ‘Bronze Charm’
Thank you, Liz. I love T. batalinii, too. So many great species cultivars these days.
Big impact in a small package!
Yes, indeed… thanks, Sandy!
Welcome, Eliza.
The striking petal shapes are awesome!
Thank you, Donna. Many of the new-to-us Tulip species are wonderful. I’m having fun exploring them. 🙂
That one is new-to-me. Very pretty!
Thank you, Kris. I’m hooked on trying new species every year. This one was great!
These are lovely. Not sure I’ve seen this variety before.
Thank you, Belinda. Catalogs have really expanded their offerings of species tulips these past few years… so many choices, too little garden space! 😉
I really do like this sort of tulip better than the ones that look like roses or peonies. The color is luscious, too. The tinge of yellow keeps it out of jack-o-lantern range!
Thank you, Linda. I do love the apricot shades, much easier to blend into the garden. Bright orange is more of a challenge!
Love the color and they are a new favorite!🙂
Thank you! 🙂
That is a really pretty one. Great splash of colour for spring!
Thank you, Cathy!
Beautiful!
Thank you, Alys!
Lovely tulip, Eliza. So richly colored.
Thank you, Steve. It is a winner in my book. 🙂
Beautiful flower.
Thank you!
Love the pics, thank you!
Thank you for linking!

What a little treasure, I love the color and the black eyelashes inside.
For some odd reason I have better luck with the tulip hybrids than with the species. Maybe I just need to try more 😉
Thank you, Frank. Once I figured out that tulips like to stay dry once dormant, I’ve had better luck. But chipmunks and voles can kill ’em all too easily, and we have far too many of both. Do you did yours up every year or leave them in the ground?
Most stay in the ground but some are dug, and the dug bulbs always do better. Fortunately we don’t have voles!
A blessing to be sure!
Although we don’t get tulips here, this one looks rather different to the more usual tulips I see in books and online. It is a beautiful warm colour.
Thank you, Carole. I have found great success with the smaller species tulips. While the hybrids are pretty, their large size can feel clunky in the garden. The smaller species can be quite charming.
They seem lovely, but I will have to admire from afar as I doubt they would grow here with our mild winters.
I enjoyed these unusual tulips, Eliza, and this cheerful salute to spring. Lovely next to Buddha, too.
Thanks, Jet. Buddha is our door greeter. 😉
Yummmm!!! ❤️❤️❤️
🙂 Yes, indeed!

I like the species tulips too. They are less floppy than their cultivated cousins and often have a more open, starry look like these.
Thank you, Susan. Catalogs are offering many new-to-us species every year. It’s fun to explore a few every fall.
Wow beautiful and stunning! 🙂🌸
Thank you, JoAnn!

Gorgeous, Eliza!
Thank you, Jane! It is a beauty.
