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 inter- 
esting plants you can grow; effective in groups in informal 
borders. Highly prized for cut flowers. May-flowering.

golden yellow base. The large blooms make a brilliant display in
