By the way, the name Batalini is not for some Renaissance Italian flower painter. It's for Russian botanist Alexander Feodorowicz Batalin, curator during the late 1800's at the Imperial Botanical Garden of St. Petersburg. Dr. Batalin sent the first of this group of tulips to England's Kew Gardens in 1888, and they were introduced into trade by the Dutch a few years later.
The Wild Tulips: There are about 150 species of tulips that occur in the wild from Central Asia all the way to Spain and Portugal. Most are native to rocky, arid regions east of Europe. It is hard to believe that these little flowers, more the size of crocus, are the original forms of the big flashy hybridized tulips we all know and love. But to any wildflower gardener who looks close, the brilliant colors and even the petal shapes and other characteristics are there. (By the way, all the species bulbs we sell are produced in Holland, so they are never gathered in the wild in their native lands.) They are all really botanical heirlooms in the truest sense, and deserve a place in every wild garden.

"These WILD TULIPS are shorter than most other tulips/ daffodils or other springtime bloomers. Yet they show so well when scattered in a bed with seasonal pals. They also brighten up beds of acheilia and nepeta which are not yet in bloom."
"I am in zone 6 in Utah. Our land is very clay, alkaline, and even salty at our property. It is difficult to find plants that can tolerate even after mulching well. We have a large pond nearby and wild waterbirds hang out on our property, eating plants. These grew. The wild ducks walked through the flower bed without nibbling, yay! They came after hyacinths and daffodils were gone. They are really tiny. Some of mine seemed to bloom on the ground though stems grew 5-6". A few had pretty red streaks on the yellow. These tulips open wide in the sun so they really don't look like the cup image I have of tulips, but still pretty. If you are going for these I would buy lots and plant in front so taller plants don't completely cover them."
"I planted these in two big containers on the patio. I love how each flower opens wide in the sunshine (on the rare non-rainy days this wet spring!) They have been blooming over 2 weeks and are just beautiful. they are such an unusual color with charming shape and adaptable size. I will certainly order more for next year. More containers, pots and barrels of bulbs!!!"
