Menton is a rich pink with orange highlights that give it a hint of warmth. It looks beautiful on its own and combines easily with any of the other French tulips, all single late-blooming. Great for bouquets, too. #TulipTuesday #Flowers

Little Beauty’s #flowers open at ground level among spidery leaves and stretch to just 4 inches or so. They are a cool magenta with a blue base edged white. #TulipTuesday #Tulips

El Niño is a beautifully indecisive #tulip. Its flowers can be amber or orange, or both at the same time, often overlaid with stripes of rose and speckles of red. No two flowers are exactly alike. #TulipTuesday

Vendée Globe is named after the round-the-world sailing race. Like the wind and weather sailors must contend with, this lily-flowered tulip is unpredictable. It is yellow, flecked and splashed to varying degrees with an orange red flame. Every flower is unique. #TulipTuesday

Wild tulips don’t have to be petite. Tschimganica (chim-GAN-ih-kuh) makes full-size bulbs. The flowers are suitably large and very showy: bright yellow with broad cranberry stripes on the outer petals. It comes from the Tien Shan Mountains, Central Asia. #TulipTuesday

Although botanists organize tulips by genus, species and cultivar, the bulb catalogs that arrive in your mailbox every summer describe tulips according to 15 groups, defined by shape, heritage and flowering time.
Here's a look at these different groups:

Bakeri Lilac Wonder is a wild tulip native to the island of Crete, with dainty pink #flowers with deep yellow centers. Their low stature makes them ideal in garden bed edges, and they’ll come back for several years. #TulipTuesday

The Foxtrot is a late blooming Double Tulip with sugary pink and white petals. It needs full sun to get a vibrant hue, as shade will make its color more muted. #TulipTuesday #Flowers

Negrita has deep purple blooms with a blue eye. A sturdy and dependable Triumph tulip that blooms in mid-late spring and it’s clearly the best solid #purple around. It combines wonderfully with lighter-colored flowers. #TulipTuesday

'Prinses Irene' is a compact beauty with orange #flowers that are licked with purplish flames on the exterior. Excellent for bedding where space is tight or the wind fierce. Also well suited to forcing in pots. #TulipTuesday

Tulip "Suncatcher" is a brilliant two-toned #flower that blooms in mid to late spring and belongs to the Triumph Tulip group. It has sturdy stems that can stand up to wind and rain, and is also a good choice for floral arrangements. #TulipTuesday

Last fall, we gave away packages of bulbs of the #tulip “Flair” to residents of #Amsterdam. We love seeing them bloom! These red and gold tulips are such a delight.

Clearwater tulips are tall, elegant flowers that bloom in mid to late spring. They’re wonderful for cutting gardens, as well as adding their striking white color as contrast to landscapes. #TulipTuesday #flowers #tulipa
