Botanically , Genus Tulipa is a member of Family Liliaceae – it include around 100 ( instinctive ) species.1Tulipa . ( n.d . ) . Pacific Bulb Society . Retrieved March 27 , 2023 , fromhttps://www.pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/Tulipa

‘Atilla’
A large identification number of tulip assortment , as bulbs , put up one stem with one flower .
plainly the ’ Tulip Mania ’ was not a one - off incident , but if it was then a low - cay ’ tulip mania ’ still seems to be bubbling along …
The outcome of the extended refinement that Tulips have fail through is that its G of varieties are grouped into 15 ‘ division ’ or ‘ groups ’ – categories , one might say .
This categorisation is predicated on the configuration and form of the flower , blooming season , and peak of the plant .
Division 1: Single Early
The chalice - form bloom that most of us associate with Tulips is actually Division 1 : ‘ Single too soon ’ .
This is the much - adored ‘ Tulip - Tulip ’ that few , if any , would take to dislike .
The same can not be aver for all of the other Division Tulips as some of them are certainly acquired discernment .
The graceful and elegant aloofness projected by a chalice - shaped Single form Tulip is probably unmatched in Flowerdom .
Division 2: Double Early
Division 2 , ‘ Double Early ’ calculate like ‘ veritable prime ’ with somewhat dissimilar shape and styles though these are pipe bowl - shape or cup - shaped in proper twofold form .
Division 3: Triumph
Division 3 , ’ victory ’ are not too different from Single ahead of time ; they are a little more capable , and cup - mold as opposed to goblet - shaped , and some varieties carry bi - coloured flowers .
Division 4: Darwin Hybrid
Division 4 , ‘ Darwin Hybrid ’ is a collection of hybrids of Single Earlies , Tulipafosterianaand species Tulips .
As such , their shape and form admit multifariousness very standardised toTulipafosteriana .
They are reliable perennial .
Division 5: Single Late
Division 5 , ‘ Single Late ’ are very standardised to the Division 1 Singles except that the bloom are just a touch more clear and they bloom at the last of leap .
Division 6: Lily-Flowered
Division 6 , ‘ Lily - Flowered ’ lean to take care like Tulips that are trying to be Lilies but with pointed tepal tips .
Both ‘ White Triumphator ’ and ‘ Ballerina ’ are reliably perennial and efflorescence class after year .
Division 7: Fringed
Division 7 , ‘ Fringed ’ literally have fringe , upright and spiky or wayward and dangling , on the edges of the petals .
Division 8: Virdiflora
Division 8 , ‘ Virdiflora ’ have flower whose petals have flares , splash , or blotches of fleeceable in variegate shades .
Division 9: Rembrandt
part 9 , ‘ Rembrandt ’ have bi - coloured bloom that resemble those from the Tulip Mania days that were called ‘ broken ’ in Tulipish .
These display what seem for all the world to be paintbrush strokes .
Division 10: Parrot
partitioning 10 , ‘ Parrot ’ , are secernate by frilled and veer petals with a feathery grain or appearance .
Division 11: Double Late
Division 11 , ‘ Double Late ’ , are surely misnamed because as class 6 is called ‘ Lily - Flowered ’ , these should be called ‘ Peony - Flowered ’ for parallel reasons ; as well , many varieties bear sweet peak .
Division 12: Kaufmanniana
Division 12 , ‘ Kaufmanniana ’ , have elongate sort standardized to ‘ Single early on ’ but with half - unfastened pointed tepals that unfold nearly full and flat in sunshine .
Division 13: Fosteriana
Division 13 , ‘ Fosteriana ’ AKA ‘ Emperor ’ , have the biggest blooms which , like the Double Earlys , are like ‘ regular ’ flowers and stand a passing resemblance to hollyhocks .
Division 14: Greigii
Division 14 , ‘ Greigii ’ , are positioned as having ‘ decorative foliage ’ but in truth the literal attraction is that it let in flowered word form and features of , at least , Triumph , Rembrandt , and Kaufmanniana – in addition to which one stem bears up to four flowers .
Division 15: Species
Division 15 , ‘ metal money ’ or ‘ Botanical ’ , comprises the wild - maturate progenitors of the hybrids and cultivars ; in world-wide , these have some of the smallest flower brook on some of the shortest stem .
Division 16: Multiflowering
sectionalisation 16 , ‘ Multiflowering ’ , include plant in which a undivided branching stem bears four or five blossom with a few even yield seven blooms .
“ This is n’t an official division but is used to group multi florescence tulips otherwise listed within the 15 official divisions , ” explains Master Horticulturist Roy Nicol .
The works in these divisions are further differentiated by their pinnacle and flowering season , and , to a lesser extent , the flowered colours .
Indeed , Divisions 1 , 2 , 5 , and 11 are identified by flowering season – other and belated .
In dividing line to each , Division 4 , ‘ Darwin Hybrid ’ are mid - time of year boo-boo , that is end - April , beginning - May .
