(May-Flowering Tulips) 
The Cottage Tulips come into bloom in early May. 
They are hardy and robust, with long, slender, but very 
stiff stems. The flowers are mostly long and oval, many 
of them with the petals gracefully reflexed. The Cottage 
Tulips as a class are rich in the more delicate and artistic 
shades of pink, yellow, orange, and fawn with salmon, old 
rose, and amber. They are best of all Tulips for cutting 
and should be planted outdoors. They will last for many 
years.
