I love this tulip. It blooms very early, it has a simple, natural, graceful elegance and it is always interesting. In dimmer light it is semi-closed, appearing almost red, in full sun it opens - like a bright yellow star (I will try to download both day/evening images on this page). On top of that it often has more than one bloom and keeps blooming faithfully in So Cal. Great plant!

This is one of the few tulips that is a perennial in the SF Bay Area of California due to its low chill requirements. It is actually stoloniferous and will colonize areas where it is happy.
