'February Sunrise'

Here's a tulip I'm growing for the first time
Despite the name it has only just opened today for the first time, though I admit I've had it in a shady spot, perhaps it would have been earlier in the sun

What a cheerful little sweety :)

Does anyone know the lineage of this plant?
It looks closest to T urumiensis of the species tulips to me.
Any thoughts?

What a gorgeous little thing!

Is this one of the species tulips?

Adam.

definitely a species - I think try this link to Paul Christian's site http://rareplants.co.uk/tulipa/index.htm

Definitely..., you think.

About as commited as a politician's press hack.

No question about it..., species..., I'm nearly convinced..., almost.

;~)

Didn't find anything on the site to match and don't have any books or catalogues with it in. Don't think Paul Christian's site seems as good as before it was altered - but perhaps that's just my jaundiced view as there are no photos of 'my' tulip. I came across it at a local garden centre, liked the sound of it and bought it.
Can't find it on Google either :(

Seems almost a urumiemsis/clusiana cross from the photos I can find

Oh well, I love all the species tulips anyway
