    Another fairly new tulip is 'Orange van Eijk'. A sport of 'Van Eijk" and introduced in 2004.

    Even though it was introduced 10 years ago, it doesn't seem widely available to home gardeners through mail order. I'd love to see it available for purchase at the various mail order sites when I'm ordering my bulbs this year. It would look great growing in one of my flowerbeds.

    It's a beauty that is a blend of orange, pink and red.
