Hi this is Yolanda Vanveen from vanveenbulbs.com. And in this series we're learning how to identify
spring blooming flower bulbs. And we're talking about one of my favorite tulips in my yard
called Greenland. So Greenland is sometimes spelled, G-R-O-E-N-L-A-N-D, for Groenland
the dutch pronunciation. So in some catalogs you'll find it spelled the dutch way. But
in America we call it Greenland. And it's easy to identify because it's so unusual.
It has a green stripe with a little bit of cream, and then pink edges. And we call it
the watermelon tulip, because it kind of looks like a watermelon. And when it's bright sunny
day, a lot of times it will even appear to be darker pink. And because we haven't had
a lot of sun this year in the spring, it seems to be a little softer pink. Because in years
past it's been a much darker pink. It's a little bit taller daffodil than a lot of my
others. And it's just a beautiful long lasting daffodil that no two look the same. And it's
almost like someone just painted the green stripes on it. Two colored flowers are really
popular these days, and this is even a better bonus. You have three colors, because you
got green, cream and pink. It would be the highlight of your yard if you had it. Next
we'll talk about another beautiful tulip, Burgundy Lace.
