Clusiana don't even look like tulips to me. I really am a hybrid modern fancy tulip fan. But I am trying. I am trying to think of a place for those Tulips vvedenskyi Tangerine Beauty right now. And I have already ordered species tulip humilis violacea. Plus I have also decided on a fair amount of Greigii Tulips. I intend to order some Casa Grande. Oratorio, Pinocchio and Royal Splendour. I thought the Royal Splendour looked fantastic at the Scheepers pictures. Plus I have already ordered Greigii tulip Mothers Love from Brent&Beckies. All of these are a good start to my tulips that come back selection.
I also found Firespray tulips at Brecks. I bought the Firespray mix which are red ones, yellow ones and orange ones. They are multiflowering. If you look in the species section at Scheepers under the red Tulipa praestans fuselier, those would be the red firespray. I figgure Brecks just made up the name Firespray tulips. Why not? It sounds good. Certainly better than the Latin.
Then yesterday I started researching Kaufmanniana tulips but still don't know what I think of them.
