Almatinka Star. Tulipa dasystemon, Hortus Botanicus, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Our fine Hortus labels this pretty Tulip incorrectly as Tulipa orphanidea. It is in fact Tulipa dasystemon.
A few days ago I wrote about father Eduard August von Regel of the Czar's garden at St Petersburg, Russia, and his son Albert, the intrepid plant collector and explorer of the eastern regions of the Russian Empire. Tulipa kolpakovskiana was found and described by them. www.flickr.com/photos/87453322@N00/51982167721/in/photoli....
This Tulipa dasystemon was found on Albert's same trip near Almaty in the hills of the Almatinka River. It, too, was described by the elder Von Regel in 1877.
