Darwin Tulips (May Flowering). 
This magnificent section of tall-growing late- flowering Tulips is hardly known in English gardens, and yet for size, variety, delicate 
beauty of colour, and elegance of form, they are incomparably superior to all the self-coloured Tulips in cultivation. Though tall and 
vigorous in growth and very much larger in flower than the early Tulips, they are nevertheless indescribably graceful. The colours, too, 
are never harsh, garish, or crude, but display the most subtle and delicious blending of artistic shades. The late Lord Leighton was 
delighted with them “because they were so different and so much more artistic in colour than the Tulips usually grown.”
