As spring graces the landscapes with its warm, a particular bloom captures the hearts of flower enthusiasts: the peony-flowered tulip. These tulips, with their lush, full-bodied petals, bear a striking resemblance to the peonies, earning them a place of honour in well-maintained gardens like this one near Budapest in Hungary.
This year’s mild and hot spring has pushed the tulips into an early flourish in Hungary and many other countries in Europe. The peony-flowered tulips stand out with their intricate petal structure.
The peony-flowered tulips come in a palette of colours, from the purest whites and softest pinks to the deepest reds and purples.
The development of these tulips can be attributed to selective breeding practices, where cultivators choose specific plants with desirable traits and breed them over multiple generations. This process enhances certain characteristics, such as the number of petals, colour variations, and bloom shapes, resulting in the peony-like appearance of these tulips.
The Dutch tulip industry has played a significant role in the development and popularisation of peony-flowered tulips. The Netherlands as a leading producer of tulip bulbs has contributed to the creation of many beautiful and diverse tulip varieties, including the peony-flowered ones.
This beautiful specimen also comes also from the Netherlands and stands as a proud and vibrant adornment in a lush garden in Hungary
