These are still blooming here. My mother loved them when she was here last weekend to get sweet corn. I'm guessing these will just multiply over the years and divide them like regular tulips? I have to order some more bulbs, they are very pretty. It's a tulip that looks like a peony, hence - the name!

You really are lucky to have them blooming this late in the season. When did you plant the bulbs? Maybe you discovered a new variety? If so, you can name it.

I've had miserable luck with them even carrying over winter here. They are so beautiful though it's worth the expense to buy more each year. Like Patti, I would love to see a picture of them.

Usually the reference to "late" regarding Tulips means late spring...April or May.

I'm wondering if what you are seeing might be summer blooming double Anemones? Some varieties look very much like a Peony bloom but the foliage is not EVEN similar to the strap leaves of Tulips.

I had a bunch of the Angelique tulips....But what I hated was the ones I had were a very yucky green before they changed to the pretty pink. I dug them up and gave them away. But if I remember right they bloomed later then my other tulips.

Uuu! I was just out in the yard and the white ones have purple tips on them! Darn it - I need to get to Fargo to get these pic's developed to show you!

The Angelique is pink and like Comfrey said, when in bud, kind of freaky looking green\pink combo.

Now I AM CURIOUS as to what exactly I have growing! I will be going to town today for school shopping and will develop the film and post the picture tonight, I'm sure I have taken one of the purple one. I was on the Internet until midnight last night trying to find out exactly what I planted, and went through all my orders of bulbs last fall! The colors I have are light pink, purple, white with purple. There are more than one flower on a stem - the stem is very strong and pretty tall, and the flower looks like a tulip/rose/peony mixture.

Thanks, Rosie! Lisianthus are such a gorgeous flower and they remind me of roses without the smell, and this is plus for me because I don't like the smell of roses!
