Tulipa Pygmy (Pygmy Tulip)
This guy looks big and is acting big as well. I am not saying as I blame him as he is the only Tulip in bloom amongst 3 thousand in the garden. He is always the first. I can depend on him every year to do just this. For me he is the bench marker for Spring. I actually go out of my way to never interfere with him, and I have a marker so I never do. By the way he is only 15 cm tall !!!!!! I have some that reach 1 meter but do not tell him that!!!!!
I have another variety that is only half this guy's size but it blooms much later. I will post those in due course.....reg
What a gorgeous tulip. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful tulip!
ReplyDeletegreat photo and lovely flower. Never forget, height isnt everything, stature is more important and first does mean something.
ReplyDeleteO WOW every one, Thank-you so much for the comments. This guy is beautiful and at the moment he is in fully open. The interior is pure yellow with a small bit of red on the base of each flower. I will post a picture of it later to-day
ReplyDeleteGardenerX you are so right, Stature is not every thing. He is just perfect as he is.
ReplyDeleteOpps I read that wrong GardenerX. :)
