Parrot Tulips 
(May-flowering) 
These artistically shaped flowers with their heavily laciniated petals have no rivals for exquisite effect. 
The gorgeous flowers are large and strikingly beautiful, very effective and picturesque in the garden 
for their rich brilliancy and fine for table decoration and in vases. A mixed bunch of Parrot Tulips 
creates a fascinating and artistic effect and last well in water. 
Origin: All the Parrot Tulips are sports of Tulips from various sections and with the exception of 
their laciniated segments 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.
