Tulipa Princess Irene (potted) near Pond

The Princess Irene bulbs were potted in the fall of '12. The large pot was stuck in an empty high, raised bed then covered and surrounded with a foot of dry tree leaves.
She came out of the forcing bed a about month ago and now here she is! Not fully opened yet and not this is not taken from her best angle. But the reflection in the cats' drinking pool was irresistible. Expect further blips of the Princess in a few days because I love her.
