Jun 01, 2011: I believe that this is another sort of tulips which I bought long ago in 2005 together with the stripe-leaved one. And again, until this year it almost never could make normal flowers. And this year — here it is. The sort turned out to be funny: when opening, the flower is yellow with thin red border (top right), and later it becomes more and more reddish.2011-06-tulips

Due to the fact that both non-flowering in past and flowering of this year were happening in all places were our tulips spread, the abundance of this year is caused by abnormal winter. All garden tulips had an abnormally good winter.
