The charming little Tulip Pinocchio is a famous classic tulip. Short but large flowered it draws the attention with its vivid colour.

Tulip Heart's Delight is often referred to as the Waterlily Tulip. The beautiful rosy red petals hide the purest white heart and open like waterlilies on sunny days. In early spring Tulip Heart's Delight opens in pinkish red to mature to this beauty. Note the purple striped leavs which surround the short stem. Found in 1952.

One of the most famous tulips for a vase is Tulip Prinses Irene. On the strong stem stands the beautiful orange flower with a purplish flame. This winner has a long flowering period and cheers up the garden or vase for a very long time. The orange is great to combine with purple tulips. In 1949 this tulip was found as a sport of the red Tulip Couleur Cardinal. Awarded the Award of Garden Merit in 1993 by the RHS.

Not a single flower of Tulip Hemisphere has the same colour pattern. Every tulip is painted in red and white, but every tulip is a unique painting. There are ones which look almost red and others look completely white, but in between you will find the most unimaginable colour patterns. It almost seems that each and every Tulip Hemisphere has been touched by a painter's brush. This eyecatcher starts blooming in late April and is great for cutting. Not a bouquet you'll find daily.
