for the garden for their rich brilliancy and fine for table decoration and bouquets in vases. A mixed

Origin: All the Parrot Tulips are sports of Tulips from various sections and with the exception 
of their laciniate segments, they have more or less the same qualities as their originators. It is known 
that of the old varieties Lutea major and Markgraaf van Baden were in existence in 1680, with 
these and some other old varieties, they are still grown. New Parrot Tulips are all strong, tall and 
dependable in blooming, whereas the old varieties are shy bloomers with weak stems.
