The Tulip Society has tradition of growing English Florists' Tulips and to distinguish them from other types we generally refer to tulips within 3 broad groups:
English Florists' Tulips
Dutch Tulips
Species Tulips
-
The English Florists' Tulip is distinguished by flamed and feathered markings caused by Tulip Breaking Virus, highly valued during Tulipomania.
-
The Dutch Tulip is available in many forms including; Single Early tulip, Triumph Tulip, Lily-flowered Tulip, Fringed Tulip, Double Tulip, Parrot Tulip.
-
The Species Tulip or Wild Tulip, sometimes called the Botanical Tulip, is an amazingly diverse group found growing in the wild areas of Europe & Central Asia.
