Irene's warm, strong fragrance and unusual coloring _ melon-orange flamed with subtle bronze-purple _ make it one of the most distinctive tulips of the 1900s. It's a favorite at Holland's glorious Keukenhof gardens and easy to force indoors where you can enjoy its heavenly scent up close. Triumph, 14", zones 3a-7b(8bWC)
