Rare species of tulips. Oriental flower in the vastness of Europe
The first international classification of the tulip plant was compiled in England during the First World War. This classification of tulips exists without reference to scientific botanical systematics. Some classes of tulips include narrow groups, other classes combine many species. In 1981, the class "Darwin's hybrids of tulips" was abolished, but then included in the garden classification of these plants again, since the varieties of this class proved to be stable and promising cultivars.
All existing tulips are divided into 15 classes, which in turn are combined into 4 groups. The first group of tulips are early-flowering plants, the second - medium-flowering, the third group - late-flowering, the fourth - varieties and hybrids of plants from the first three groups.
Tulips of classes 1 to 11 are called garden tulips. Classes 12-15 include the so-called botanical varieties of tulips - these are cultivated species, their varieties, forms and hybrids.

The nuances of tulip culture
- So that tulips do not shrink, they should be dug up annually.
- It is advisable to dig up the bulbs when the leaves turn yellow. depending on flowering time different varieties, this is the second half of May or the middle of June (in the Crimea).
- After digging, the bulbs are dried in the shade, in a well-ventilated place, cleaned from old mother scales, sorted new harvest size and set for storage.
- To avoid the spread of diseases, the bulbs are treated with fungicides, it is useful to sprinkle them with colloidal sulfur.
- When storing, it is very important to observe temperature regime, which regulates the passage of all organ-forming processes in the bulbs, determining the future flowering and the quality of new bulbs.

Application
Tulips Triumph are good in spring decoration adjoining territory, suburban area, in various mixborders, in flowerbeds. Suitable for winter-spring forcing (from January to March inclusive) and for cutting.* Flowering dates are indicated for the southern regions.
In forcing for over 30 years, we have tried many varieties of pink tulips.
Royal Ten. It has a very pretty color - the upper part of the bud is raspberry-pink, Bottom part white. Triumph, high, powerful, almost one hundred percent forcing. The disadvantage, in our opinion, is that this tulip is quite late and its flowering may be late by March 8th. Greenish tips on the petals may also be a disadvantage, which indicates insufficient cooling of the bulb.
Dynasty- the upper part of the petal is bright pink, the bottom is white. Triumph. Early. Suitable for distillation on February 14 and March 8. The disadvantage in our opinion is that this variety is quite old and the bulb may be more painful than newer varieties. Therefore, when forcing a tulip, it is not always of the same quality.
Bolroyal Pink. The same color scheme as Dynasty, but more saturated and contrasting. Triumph. Early. Suitable for distillation on February 14 and March 8. Bright, large flower on a strong foot. One hundred percent distillation, a fairly cheap bulb. Peduncle height 45 cm. Glass height 7 cm.
Momotaro. The color is similar to Bolroyal Pink, but the shape of the bud is different. Triumph. Very early. Bright. It proved to be excellent in forcing on February 14, but, with a high stem, it has a not very large bud.
Tom Pouce. At the beginning of its flowering, the base of the bud is creamy with a light pink wide border. Gradually saturated, it becomes bright pink with a coral tint and a yellow bottom. Stem height 50-55 cm. Bud 6-6.5 cm. Triumph. One hundred percent forcing. Trouble-free. Early.
Matchmaker- pink triumph with a rim, slightly lighter than the main color. Enough late selection. Has a short cooling period. Suitable for distillation on February 14 and March 8. Tall, slender, compact, one hundred percent forcing. Expelling this variety for five years, we had no complaints about it. But, having tried to expel the Irina variety, they preferred it.
Irina. Wonderful variety. New pink tulips. Triumph. Tall and powerful with a short cooling period. Slender, compact with a large bud. It stays cut for a long time.
Algarve. Light pink triumph with a high bud (up to 10 cm) and a stem up to 60 cm. Very early. May have green tips on the petals if the bulb is not cooled enough.

Alibi. Intense pink-lilac tulip. Belongs to the triumph class. Stem height 45 cm, bud height 5.5 cm. It has an average cooling period. The disadvantage is that when forcing a large bulb, 2-3 buds bloom on the stem, which somewhat worsens the decorative qualities of the tulip.

Jumbo Beauty. The forcing is very high - up to 70 cm. The bud is pale pink-lilac in color with a light border. It has a long cooling period, so it can only be kicked out by March 8th.
