Origin: All the Parrot Tulips are sports of Tulips from various sections and with the exception 
of their laciniated 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
