Parrot tulips are known for their large petals with bright colors that are capriciously shaped and distinctively colored.
The "Rococo" tulip is a velvety red tulip with accents of purple, yellow and green. Yes, the large flowers always have green spots somewhere.
It is still flowering in a pot in my conservatory, but I will soon move it into a bed and hope that it will come back next year.
Papageientulpe 'Roccoco' (Tulipa x Hybrida 'Rococo')
Papageientulpen sind bekannt für ihre großen Blütenblätter mit leuchtenden Farben, die kapriziös geformt und apart gefärbt sind.
Die Tulpe "Rococo" ist eine samtig-rote Edeltulpe mit Akzenten in Lila, Gelb und Grün. Ja, die großen Blüten haben immer irgendwo grüne Flecken.
Noch blüht sie im Topf bei mir im Wintergarten, aber bald werde ich sie ins Beet bringen und hoffe, dass sie nächstes Jahr wiederkommt.
Thank you so much for your visits, comments and faves. I appreciate them all!
Wishing everyone a happy day!❤️
Closeup image taken during my field trip to the Holland Ridge Farms, in Cream Ridge, New Jersey. Loved the backlit tulip.
Holland Ridge Farms is the biggest U-Pick Flower Farm in the USA. A pristine landscaped farm, bursting with millions of rainbow blooms including their famous tulips. The good news is, you don’t have to travel to the Netherlands to experience it – they’re right here in Cream Ridge, NJ! They currently host two pick your own flower seasons – U-Pick Tulips in the spring and U-Pick Sunflowers in the fall.
This farm is a hotspot for photography and the perfect place to celebrate life’s biggest milestones – first dates, proposals, engagement shoots, wedding shoots, maternity shoots, wedding anniversaries, birthdays etc. It is considered one of the top spots to visit on the East Coast. Hundreds of thousands of guests flock to the farm to see the millions of blooms. Their impressive flower fields also make the perfect backdrop for beautiful photos.
Gamla Stam, Stockholm.
In Sweden, tulips usually bloom in the spring. When they came to the country is uncertain, but documentation credits Olof Rudbeck the Elders with bringing over the seeds and bulbs after a trip to Holland. In 1685 he had 38 different kinds of tulips in his botanical garden in Uppsala, and the bulbs have spread since those day to many locations around the country.
I’m sure I’ve told you before that I get very embarrassed about taking photos int he front garden. However, having taken the dog for a walk this morning I just couldn’t resist, besides Sunday mornings, there’s not too many people up and about.
I had realised last year that I’m a bit shy on the old photography front so had bought more bulbs and planted them in the seclusion of our back garden. They’re coming up, but slightly behind the ones in the front.
Thanks for stopping
I bought tulips for last week's CC Challenge but they refused to open in time. They still haven't opened much and now the leaves are turning brown. Time to buy some more. : )
I was walking with my daughter when she was little, and she asked me "Mommy are those roses". I told her no, they were tulips. And she said, "Where are the Onelips, are they lonely?"
From that day on, we never called them Tulips, they've always been Onelips. ♥

After an unusually cold April some of the tulips fields are late to bloom but no less spectacular, especially on a cloudy morning.
