TULIPA SPECIES (Botanical Tulips) 
The wild species of Tulips are a very charming race of flowering hardy 
bulbs. Among the species there is a large diversity of color and form, dainty 
star shaped flowers to superb goblets, expanding to huge large saucers in 
full sun. Some varieties are so rewarding that they produce 3 to 4 flowers on 
a branching stem. Their color varies from creamy white, pale yellow to deep 
chrome, orange, vermillion and dazzling scarlet red, pale pink to rosy crimson 
and purplish violet. The flowering season extends from late March to early 
June. They like full sun, a well drained sandy soil- and all the baking sun 
possible during the summer to ripen the bulbs.
