Although a species bulb, Tulipa acuminata is supposedly no longer found in its native habitat. It can be catalogue dated back to the early 1800's, but it is believed to be a survivor from a hundred years earlier when tulips like this little oddity were all the fashion in the Ottoman empire. I'm happy to say it's made a very fashionable appearance in my garden this spring.
