tulips at their best in the cold

It is the end of May and it has been really cold.  The temperature goes down to near freezing some nights, and we are far from wearing shorts during the day.  The weather in my home province of Ontario has already reached 30 degrees, but I'm not really jealous.  The cold weather on PEI means my tulips are still faboulous, whereas theirs have been cooked by the hot weather.
So I'm going to brag up some of the lovelies around my garden.

even as these tulips fade, they are still kinda funky

this poor flower has been cut by some mysterious force

Irene tulip has lovely white-tipped leaves

Queen of Night

This Blueberry Ripple seems to have a petal attached to the stem and the flower

a gentle blend of yellow and orange

This fringed tulip languished on its own for many years, and has now finally divided into three blooms and looks better than it every has before.
