I suggested it in case the OP couldn't get Lady Jane. AIUI opening in
the day and closing at night is a feature of all T. clusiana
varieties, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulipa_clusiana

Is that so? I never knew that because it's not one I've ever grown. I
don't know if Lady Jane is hard to obtain but as you say, Peppermint
Stick is so like it that it would be a good substitute. I'm going to
look for it now, just to see if I can find it easily. We don't do many
bulb plants but we get bulbs from Parkers usually.

Thanks Sacha for the help/confirmation. Above and beyond the call of duty!!!!

Very kind of you but it wasn't an arduous task and you're most welcome! ;-)
