This is a favorite here, but I'm distressed to see things which suggest that I may be using the wrong name for this. I have had several accessions of this species during the last forty years. The plant I know by this name has plain gray-green foliage and flowers with an easily identified shape. But I note that the plant shown on the wiki seems to have mottled foliage and a different flower shape. Furthermore, the plant illustrated in Anna Pavord's The Tulip shows a plant with robustly spotted foliage- foliage as thickly spotted as any Tulipa greigii hybrid I've ever seen - and a flower which, but for that fact that it is a red tulip, looks nothing like those of my plants. What's the story here? Jim McKenney jimmckenney@starpower.net
