Parrot tulips typically elicit strong responses; people either love their bright colors, fanciful forms and high energy, or don't. We love them, especially red and white Estella Rijnveld, and think spring landscapes benefit from all this floral excitement. Are you feeling bold?

"Like raspberry-ripple ice-cream," says Anna Pavord in The Tulip, and "one of the best." It's also one of the most dramatic of modern parrots, with a whirling-dervish intensity that rivals that of 18th-century parrots such as 'Amiral de Constantinople'. I first grew 'Estella' 25 years ago, and the outrageous beauty of its first blooms still blazes in my memory. Parrot, 18-20", zones 3a-7b(8bWC)
