Botanical Tulips. 
The general characteristics of the various wild species, all of which 
are natives of Asia Minor and Central Asia, are bright colors and 
recurved petals. Many varieties are very dwarf and as such most 
suited for rockeries; some force well and are very effective, grown 
in pots.
