These are Greigii tulips that I planted last fall. The tag just says "greigii" http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/2281/index.html without any special cultivar name. The greigii aren't tall (6-12" is listed for most of them in PlantFiles).
But nobody says they sit on the ground like eggs in egg cups!!

Has anyone ever seen any growing like this??

(I know I didn't plant them extra deep. If anything, I might plant a tulip bulb too shallowly, but never too deeply. lazy me, plus hands that don't want to dig anymore. All the other tulips planted at the same time are growing up normally, stems and all!)
