I think the Wild Tulips are fantastic and don't buy any other kind these days. They come up year for year. Thanks for the nomination.
The last one could be Lilac Wonder LG - I am not sure - mine are not out yet but I will compare them when they decide to show themselves.

Rf thanks for your help I've looked it up and it's actually Little Beauty. When I planted the dwarf tulips last autumn I did'nt realise they were species tulips at all and had no idea what they were. I have just 1more pot to open, pics when they do.

My tulips are only just starting - these were new last year...dwarf wild tulip - Bright Gem. A real eye catcher and gorgeous in the sun. RF Those are bright and lovely Rf, it must be warm there today for them all to open out like that. I love the colour of them. Beautiful wild tulips RF. I love that burnt orange colour and I would love to get some too! Another nomination from me before it disappears amongst other pics.

This little tulip has grown in the middle of the old compost heap! Strange thing is I don't remember ever having any tulips that small or that colour!

And beautiful Jasmine, it's amazing how things appear out of nowhere sometimes. will you dig it up and plant it in the border? Tig those pinky whites are very unusual .

I'm going to collect them all up after they've flowered LG (there's about 5 of them altogether, mostly in the new compost heap) and find a little corner for them.

They are all beautiful Rf. I'm very much coming around to the idea of growing small species tulips in the future but I'll hold on to my big ones as long as I can too.

I love them LG and the one positive thing with them is that they grow to be bigger and better as the years go on and don't disappear as the normal ones do. Just found some more that have opened. RF

Tig those are really beautiful and vibrant, that Spring Green one is so unusual, most of mine are pretty much over now. Barbara those are lovely, so very delicate, do you know what they're called.?

Some lovely tulips this year from everyone. Tig, I love your Queen of the Night ones with the pale tulips. Looks stunning. My Q of N looking a bit sparse so I won't show photo. These are some are planted in a pot last November and completely forgot about them. Thought I'd take a pic while they are at their best.
