My bloom day post can be found here. But since much of the pleasure of this time of the year for me is derived from tulips, and, particularly, species tulips, I offer a group of them above. Three of these are still in bloom. Top: clusiana “Cynthia,” tarda, humulis “Persian Pearl.” Bottom: acuminata, turkistanica, batalini “Bronze Charm.”

Beautiful and unusual, plus I admire your restraint. Everything currently flowering in my yard has blooms as big as a baby's head.

Love the species tulips, keep adding more every year, and also the species iris - exquisite. Both I think are rather neglected in spring gardens.

I've been a species tulip addict for years, starting with Persian Pearl. I've added some along the wisteria arbor in the historic garden and delight in pointing them out to visitors.
