Happened bu chance to see some of Gardener's World on Friday (generally
avoid on account of unctuous presenters - btw that Aberdonian chap on
Beechgrove Garden is a refreshing change!).

Saw some pink and white tulips in pots and a few in the ground. They
were stunning. Anyone know them (name? supplier?)? Googled around but no
joy so far.

Thanks - Chris

Thanks for the info/advice Sacha!

It's not Sorbet I'm afraid but could well be Tulipa clusiana 'Lady
Jane'. I say could well cause in my head the striping was more defined.
This'd do though. It's a cracker!

That's a real beauty. I think the way it opens is just gorgeous. Must
put that on my 'desirables' list!
