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.


I love parrot tulips! What a brilliant capture this is…
Such a vivid picture of a lovely tulip!
Love the intense colors in this tulip! Great shot.
Your tulips are blooming? In February?!!!
Gorgeous.

Hope you’re having a super day.
gorgeous flower. happy ruby tuesday
oh, how I am longing for spring!
What a vibrant and beautiful capture!
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.
Wow! How gorgeous! If that doesn’t say spring I don’t know what does! Excellent Sara
That is really beautiful. I love those colors.
I”ve never heard of parrot tulips. They sure are attractive.
I love tulips! Spring is on the way, I hope!
Glorious is the right word, Sara! Gorgeous tulip! Happy Ruby Tuesday (a little late! )
