Blooms late April to early May in my garden.

An absolutely beautiful Tulip. So many people have commented on it, not even recognizing it as a Tulip to begin with.

I planted 5 bulbs a few years ago, some returned for a couple of years and most of them eventually disappeared. I have had one or two that made a little foliage, now one has returned after possibly replenishing the bulb, or having grown another one to maturity.

The flower is large, bright and stands out like a beacon. It has a very strong honey scent with a touch of beeswax. It is also long lived. Rather than be disappointed that the others did not return, I am delighted that one did. It stands alone and needs nothing to enhance its beauty, it makes me smile. Delightful!
