Parrot or Dragon Tulips 
The irregularly formed flowers of Parrot Tulips, with their curiously laciniated and attractively fringed petals, 
are most unusual and come in many rich and varied shades; in some varieties, green markings enhance the beauty 
of the blooms. Parrot Tulips are entirely distinct, and one of the most interesting plants you can grow; effective 
in groups in informal borders. Highly prized for cut-flowers. May flowering. Shown in color on opposite page.
