Comments on: Mini Star Tulip - Flatbush, Brooklyn http://fadingad.wordpress.com/2008/03/28/mini-star-tulip-flatbush-brooklyn/ vintage mural ads & other signage- a cross-curricular collaboration Mon, 13 Oct 2008 18:31:56 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=MU hourly 1 By: Texastulipman13 http://fadingad.wordpress.com/2008/03/28/mini-star-tulip-flatbush-brooklyn/#comment-5814 Texastulipman13 Tue, 22 Jul 2008 21:23:04 +0000 http://fadingad.wordpress.com/2008/03/28/mini-star-tulip-flatbush-brooklyn/#comment-5814 Nice shot of the tulip. In the interest of accurate nomenclature, might I add that I believe the tulip flower in the photo is more likely Tulipa tarda - a 'species' tulip. There exists a cultivar with the proper name of T. 'Mini Star' - a Triumph group tulip. It is reported to be yellow and about 40-50 cm. in height. Tulip variety names are most generally written in italics with the letter T. ( for the Latin "Tulipa") followed by the name of the cultivar, which is enclosed with the single quotation marks - whatever those are really called. There is a lot of Dutch still in New York. Thanks for the photo of the Mini Star Tulip. I was looking for T. 'Mini Star' when it popped up on my Google search. I recall visiting a garden with tulips late at night on a street corner in Bedford-Stuyvesant in late winter 2001 adjacent to a very jumping bar. Very surreal experience, but completely harmonious at the same time. Regards, Danny Nice shot of the tulip.
