Seeing it after a long time. We used to pull out bulbs in our childhood and eat them raw, very delicious. This year I saw only one plant in Pahalgam, but flower was almost dried.
you just highlighted a social habit that in innocence in childhood … ultimately help reduce the plant numbers…
Please find the pics of this interesting herb, recorded from a wheat field near Dehradun, Uttrakhand in March 2018. I hope it can be Tulipa clusiana, but validation is required.. few flowers were pentamerous..
I am unable to match your images. May be some hybrid/ cultivar.
