    I found this stunner of an Emperor Class tulip at Brent and Becky's bulbs. I've never seen it offered anywhere else. Of course I had to have some. The blooms are just so striking and cheerful. A lovely bloom, mostly yellow but with black and red base. It sure does light up the garden.

    Best part is that tulips of this class return here each year, so I expect that I will be enjoying 'Hit Parade' for many years to come.
