    The more I see and read about this gorgeous tulip, the more I want to grow it in my garden. It's stunning! It starts out as creamy yellow with the reddish pink outline and as the flower matures, it becomes white with the reddish pink outline.

    I'm surprised that ever since 2006, when it first became available, it hasn't been more widely available for sale. I'm going to have to keep an eye out for this beauty and add it my garden.

    What I don't understand is that some sources list it as a Double Early tulip and some sources list it as a Double Late tulip.
