Your experience with "Beauty of Apeldoorn" is interesting. Different varieties last longer than others - I found that "Maureen" lasted much longer than "Mrs. John Scheepers" in my garden, but even the same variety can last differently, depending upon the weather conditions - a few warm (or even hot) days will shorten the bloom time of any variety.

We had a few warm days two weeks ago, but for the last 10 days, it has been cool and damp here. My bed of mixed Mayflowering tulips has lasted extremely well - it's still looking great.
