The modern Giant May-Flowering Tulip is the result of three separate 
experiments of Tulip breeding, formerly classified as Darwin, Cottage and 
Breeder Tulips. 
Through the inter-breeding of the three before-mentioned

Flowering Tulips contain the blood of all the three preceding crosses in 
proportions unknown to even the plant breeders themselves, it seems useless

The term May-Flowering is based on our Michigan
