Thanks that makes me feel even better about my decision to buy saxatilis. I've had clusiana for a year and I plan to see it next spring.

All of them are grown in strong light but the foliage never receives direct sunlight. After flowers they are beheaded. As for Tulipa cretica I have grown it for 12 years from wild collected bulbs and it has never flowered.
