We also grow some of the "Dutch Hybrid" Tulips !
This is Tulipa 'Royal Virgin' which I think we got last year or the year before. It seems to be settled in
cheers

Hi Fermi. I never knew there was such a thing as a multi-flowered tulip. We live and learn! I'll have a look on the internet and see what other types there are.

Cheers

Hi David,
a couple of species tulips also are "multiflora" such as Tulipa saxatilis.
Here's another new one: Tulipa 'Versace'
cheers

Thank you Firmi for the lovely photos. I have not been reading the post as I have been rather busy.We are having a Greek wedding in the family tomorrow.

Hi Charithea,
I hope the wedding went well. We haven't got any weddings in the family at the moment which is just as well because in Victoria the restrictions limit the number of people who can attend - and the bridal party are the only ones who are allowed to dance!
On a happier note here is an orange Parrot Tulip which came up in one of the beds but neither of us remember planting it there! It closes up at night (last pic).
cheers
