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...
May be cultivar 'Lady Jane' as per

Tulipa clusiana for validation- NS March 2018:: 02 : 5 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (7)
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..
These links have suggested even more firmly in favour of Tulipa clusiana...
The only other Tulipa which closely resembles is Tulipa edulis...
Hope to get further inputs..
Why stamens look different?
