Tulipa sintenesii (Tulip) [in Turk. Lale]

During the our herpetological trips to SE Anatolia in 2008, i encountered with this alone beauty on a slope of a deep and dried stream bed in Birecik, near the Turkish-Syrian border. I had to climb to take its photo. You can notice a beetle visitor near the central part of this beauty. Unfortunalely I do not know its exact id. Since the total appearance shot is so big sized I posted it TL (because TL allows to uploading 300 megapixel images). Click here
to see the total apperance of this beauty.

I would like to dedicate this beauty to two kind ladies of our friends, a great mother and her great daughter, Jacqueline ((Noisette)) & Valerie Schnepp ((valy67)). Hoping you can like this Jacqueline and Valerie!

TFL!
Cheers,

Bayram

*****************************

Tulipa, commonly called Tulip, is a genus of about 150 species of bulbous flowering plants in the family Liliaceae. The native range of the species includes southern Europe, north Africa, and Asia from Anatolia and Iran in the east to northeast of China. The centre of diversity of the genus is in the Pamir and Hindu Kush mountains and the steppes of Kazakhstan. A number of species and many hybrid cultivars are grown in gardens, used as pot plants or as fresh cut flowers.

The species are perennials from bulbs, the tunicate bulbs are often produced on the ends of stolons and covered with glabrous to variously hairy papery coverings. The species include short low growing plants to tall upright plants, growing from 10 to 70 centimeters (4–27 in) tall. They can even grow in the cold and snowy winter. Plants with typically 2 to 6 leaves, with some species having up to 12 leaves. The cauline foliage is strap-shaped, waxy-coated, usually light to medium green and alternately arranged. The blades are somewhat fleshy and linear to oblong in shape. The large flowers are produced on scapes or subscapose stems normally lacking bracts. The stems have no leaves to a few leaves, with large species having some leaves and smaller species have none. Typically species have one flower per stem but a few species have up to four flowers. The colorful and attractive cup shaped flowers have three petals and three sepals, which are most often termed tepals because they are nearly identical. The six petaloid tepals are often marked near the bases with darker markings. The flowers have six basifixed, distinct stamens with filaments shorter than the tepals and the stigmas are districtly 3-lobed. The ovaries are superior with three chambers. The 3 angled fruits are leathery textured capsules, ellipsoid to subglobose in shape, containing numerous flat disc-shaped seeds in two rows per locule.

The tulip, or "Lale" (from Persian لاله, lâleh) as it is called in Turkey, is a flower indigenous to Iran, Afghanistan, Turkey and other parts of Central Asia. Tulips were brought to Europe in the 16th century; the word tulip, which earlier in English appeared in such forms as tulipa or tulipant, entered the language by way of French tulipe and its obsolete form tulipan or by way of Modern Latin tulīpa, from Ottoman Turkish tülbend, "muslin, gauze." (The English word turban, first recorded in English in the 16th century, can also be traced to Ottoman Turkish tülbend.) The Turkish word for gauze, with which turbans can be wrapped, seems to have been used for the flower because a fully opened tulip was thought to resemble a turban.

After introduction of the Tulip to Europe, it gained much popularity and was seen as a sign of abundance and indulgence in the Ottoman Empire. The era during which the Ottoman Empire was wealthiest is called the Tulip era, or Lale Devri in Turkish.

Perhaps one of the ancestors of our modern cultivar tulips may have been Tulipa sintenesii. This attractive plant originates from Inner Anatolia in central Turkey. It grows to about 25 cm tall when in flower, and in the area west of the town of Van, the fields turn red for many kilometres in April when T. sintenesii blooms.

Plant two times the height of the bulb below the ground, remembering to label so you know where they are! Ensure their position gets as much sun as possible while the plants are in flower and again in early summer to ripen the bulbs. After flowering, a feed high in potash can be beneficial to give the bulbs energy to flower next year; this can also be enhanced by removing the seed pods. You can see species tulips in all their glory from February to May.

Merhaba Dostum,
Excellent capture of this Tulip flower, well worth the climb to take this from a great POV with fine technical qualities. The Id of the small hairy beetle is a mystery to me, though I wonder if it is a pollen-covered species of Hispella.
TFS this beauty Bayram,
Nice dedication for mother and daughter

Ivan

Hello Bayram,
Holland is famous for its tulips. But I know that they originally came from Turkey. Very beautiful photo in excellent sharpness and splendid contrasting colours against the light BG. Great POV and composition.
Kind regards,

Dear Bayram,
We've seen some wild Tulips in Turkey in a very arid environment where they looked so beautiful. This is a lovely close view of a beautiful red specimen showing excellent details. A nice composition too.
I didn't know that you could post a link to Trek-Lens from here.
TFS and regards, Ulla

Hi Bayram,

Merhaba Bayram Hocam,
Eğitici ve zevkli Toros kurbağası serisi galiba sona erdi. Arada bir böyle değişik çalışmalara yönelmek insanı tazelemesi açısından güzel bir taktik. Her ne amaçla olursa olsun her işe ciddi ve saygıyla yaklaştığınızı görüyorum. Lalenin renkleri ve kadraj çok güzel olmuş. Emeğine sağlık.

Hi Bro,

How different from what I think of as a Tulip. Beautiful colors and the insect is fascinating. I love the full shot that you linked to. I can understand why you climbed to get the photo. The flower and leaves are just beautiful. Nice dedication to Jacqueline and Valerie.

Kanka tam bir doğa bilimcisi olduğunu çektiğin tüm kareler bakınca anlıyor insan. İşine duyduğun saygı her karene yansıyor. Gurur duyuyorum kankamsın diye:). Şımarma sakın... hehe..

Merhaba hocam, bu kareden sonra Osmanlı'nın Lale devrine gitmek lazım:). Muhteşem renkler ve detaylar. TL'deki kare de çok güzel. Elinize sağlık.

Muhteşem bir kırmızı renk hocam. Daha küçük boyutta iken hemen göz alıyor. Petaldeki desen Yeniçeri askerlerinin başklığını andırıyor. Acaba ordan mı esinlenilmiş merak ettim. Elinize sağlık.

Hello Bayram !
Wow, I feel honored by this wonderful dedication, thank you so much ! You're such a talented photographer, but I admire you not only for your pictures, but also for your kind comments and all your knowledge about reptiles - I like them, but I don't know much about them, so, well, I always like to read your notes... As for the picture, it is, as usual from you, a wondeful picture, with excellent details, vivid colors, beautiful composition... Very well done !
My mother did not see your picture yet, but I'm sure she'll appreciate as much as I do !
Valerie.

Hi Bayram,another flower your new collection,very nice pic,but this specie is wild in Turkey? I remember that in springtime my tulip was removed because cultivate..ehehe...have a great week,Luciano

Excellent image Bayram,
The vivid color of this beautiful tulip is outstanding..
It stands out very well in stark contrast to the stream bed BG.
Best wishes for a prosperous New Year,
Howard

Merhaba Hocam,
HArika bir makro, elinize sağlık.
Saygılarımla

Hallo Bayram
In Afrikaans we have a saying: "Hoe rooier hoe mooier" and that is most applicable here. It means the more red, the more beautiful. Very sharp and beautiful details of the precisely shaped petals and anthers. I especially like the wrinkled effect on the yellowish part of the petals. It displays well and is a lovely close-up. Thanks for sharing this dedication, and although I have not met Valerie and her mother Jacqueline I am sure these two French ladies are just as beautiful as this flower. Their personalities sure are!
Kind regards
Anna

Ciao Bayram, lovely dedication of this splendid tulip to our friends, fantastic colors, fine details and excellent sharpness, very well done, ciao Silvio

Dear Bayram,
Beautiful macro of the tulip. Brilliant colors & details. TFS.
Regards-Subhash

Hi Bayram,

A very nice shot of this beautiful flower and its little attendant. I've never cared for the cultivated Tulips all that much, but I find the wild species to be very attractive.

Also, we can upload photos to 300 KB here on TN, is that what you referred to?

Thanks,
John

Bayram ne guzel bir Turk lalesi. notun da cok guzel. Laleler bizim ama Hollandlilar onlarinmis gibi davraniyorlar. Afferin sana.. cok sevdim bunu...
Kocaman sardim seni canim kardesim..
