Some resources list Tulipa bulbs, stems and flowers as poisonous if ingested, and may cause a dermatitis type skin rash upon contact.
Toxic principals are Tulipalin, a phytoalexin; allergins; glycoprotein.
Symptoms include stomach pain, salivation, sweating, nausea and vomiting. Skin irritation with tingling, redness, blisters, and cracks, either immediately or after a delay from contact, and may spread away from the point of contact.
We tend to err on the side of caution in PlantFiles, and the danger notation in the details above is to warn gardeners, parents and pet owners to look further for more information.

I planted Tulipa clusiana var. chrysantha in 2005 and they bloomed nicely. They came up the next year; however, they did not bloom. The following year, they disappeared and have not returned.

Grows in heavy alkaline clay soil as well. This is my favorite species tulip; it has a long bloom stem that makes it a delicate-looking plant, (and a cut flower candidate) but also has a long bloom duration to boot. Blooms in May here.

I really enjoy these little species tulips - they are a welcome touch of color in the early spring. I am in central Texas (zone 8) and they are very reliable here, coming back every spring.
