Thank you to my friend Heather who told me the correct name for these tulips. She knew the name of them from her mother-in-law, Marie, who had clumps of them growing in her garden. Heather has some in her flower garden from Marie. I got mine from Georgie and May. Who knows, Marie might have shared hers with Georgie and May originally. Small world!

| Tarda Tulips |
Tulipa tarda (late tulip, tarda tulip) is a perennial growing from a bulb. It is cultivated for its flowers with a yellow center and white tips, blooming in spring. Tulipa tarda is native to central Asia, growing in rocky subalpine meadows.
Just heard from another friend, Rosie, that she bought these as bulbs at WalMart. She was also able to get purple ones. How lovely!!
