Initial Notes:
Orange Princess - Similar terrific characteristics as T. 'Prinses Irene' including coloring and fragrance, except that this flower is doubled; looks especially wonderful with Pansy 'Jolly Joker'; 12"-14"; late-midseason.
The peacocks and parrots of the bulb world, tulips offer are more sizes, shapes and colors than you can imagine for any type of garden design scheme. They are an incredible source of inexpensive color for the garden. Almost every color in the spectrum is available except true blue. Intensity of the colors sometimes varies according to climate and even from one season to another. Divided into 15 divisions usually depending on shape, bloom time or heritage.Plant 4 _ their height deep (8"-10" for regular sized tulips; 4"-6" for small tulips); 12+cm bulbs unless otherwise noted.
