An unusual but beautiful tulip. A nice creation by the gardener and a nice photo of it by you Cornelius. I see here in the dahlia garden new shapes and colors every year. The chief gardener there is an expert in creating new versions of dahlia.
Dorothy Michaels: No, just Dorothy. Alan's always Alan, Tom's always Tom and John's always John. I have a name too. It's Dorothy, capital D-O-R-O-T-H-Y.
A very interesting tulip indeed, Cornelius - I'd imagine that the growers are in fierce competition to come up with something different - they have as your image shows - this wonderfully unique tulip - Excellent!!!!!!!!
