Turkish(?) wild tulip at dusk
Some sort of tulip, which looks like a wild Turkish variety to my untrained eye. My suspicion is either Tulipa sprengeri (Sprenger's tulip) or Tulipa orphinadia (wild orange tulip) as despite the colour some images of this variety look very close. I don't think any of these have opened yet, which doesn't help trying to identify them. I have also removed many a blemish and yellowish discoloration which would not help trying to ID it from this processed image.
Taken at dusk, half an hour before sunset.
First time I have seen these, likely a recent addition. Christchurch Botanic Gardens, New Zealand.
