Tulipa kolpakowskiana

Tulipa kolpakowskiana, Kolpakowsky's Tulip is another of the wonderful species Tulips endemic to the Central Asian mountain ranges, in particular southern Ala Tau and northern Tien Shan. It is a medium height tulip, usually with a curved stem, with deep yellow flowers, each streaked with a pinkish-red or greyish violet colouration on the outside. Its foliage is blueish-green with wavy margins and combined with the curved habit of the stems makes a charming show as it increases each year, naturalising - in every sense of the word - rather than the stiff erect plantings one so often associates with hybrid Tulips.
