A gorgeous Tulip


I've got a real beauty in my garden. Not the flashy, eye-catching type of beauty, but a sweet, romantic Princess. It's a Tulip with variegated leaves and flowers of palest pink with green streaks on the petals.

As you might have guessed, it's a Tulipa viridiflora. I bought the bulbs in Amsterdam last October and I'm so glad I did!

This is China Town:



I hope this beauty will like it here, in our garden! /Katarina

I had a parrot tulip that had markings similar to this but this one is far superior. What a find.

What a beautiful tulip! I like the green around the blossom about tulip Angelique as well. Some of my tulips did not appear this year, mostly parrots though. Nice shots as always. Andrea
