And another tulip - native to Crete. Tulipa saxatilis.

Agree that winter and early spring can be terribly pink. Candy pink in abundance. These are just the most common lachenalia (L. aloides var aloides) but they sure put on a good show.

Tui two.

And tui one. Took many attempts to get this particular photo. I shudder to think quite how much time I have spent fluffing around photographing the tui in the campanulata cherries.

Petal carpets! One of the delights of spring.

First one definitely Black Tulip, second one looks like Apollo, third one - can't tell from the bud.
