One of our most reliable species tulips is now called Tulipa saxatilis Bakeri Group 'Lilac Wonder' - quite a mouthful!

'Little Princess' is a very interesting shape for a tulip, Fermi. How tall are those flowers?

Hi Alisdair,
those ones are only a few inches high, somewhere around 3 in (6 or 7 cm), but in another bed they can get up to twice that height,

Does anyone know whether T. linifolia needs pre-chilling? Also when would be the best time to plant - should I wait till the temps drop a bit? It's around 25C daytime high (77f) at the moment. Thanks!

This came as Tulipa hageri 'Piccolo' but looks the same as 'Little Princess' to me!
This year it's apparent that 'Piccolo' is a light orange compared to 'Little Princess'!
