Parrot tulip
This photo was taken at the NW Flower & Garden show, so it’s forced and blooming under indoor lighting, but still, isn’t it glorious? I think this kind with the frilly edges is a parrot type, but I could be wrong about that.
Visit Ruby Tuesday for more ravishing redness. And Color Carnival is where the other bright colors hang out.

Hootin’ Anni, this is not my tulip! I only wish my backyard ones were blooming. Last year, that was May! This year we will be earlier than that, though, as tulip leaves are definitely up. Thanks to all who visited and left a comment.
