Early October 2003, we planted four 'ChinaPink' bulbs together with other bulbs by a gatepost near a female kiwi, with a layer of many 'Whitewell Purple' crocuses planted in a shallower level above those.
As 'ChinaPink' is a recipient of the Award of Garden Merit, it was assured to be beautiful, easy to grow, & of lasting garden value.
'ChinaPink' is a small-flowered lily-tulip, pink with white base, & a lighter pink rim, reaching only about fourteen inches of height.
The flowers have five petals, typically with a frilled margin, and are (in almost all species) pale to dark pink.
The colour pink may be named after the flower.
The origin of the flower name 'pink' is unknown; it has been suggested that it comes from the frilled edge of the flowers, which look as though they were cut with pinking shears, but actually, the shears were patented in 1893 and got their name from the flower.
