The plants come up each year which only began a few years ago. Not something I have planted myself. Quite a pretty flower when the buds open. Have no idea what it is so would be grateful if anyone can put a name to it. Thank you.
Thank you all for taking the trouble to name the plant. With a bit of luck the flower may have opened by tomorrow so hopefully get another pic. I don't think it's as posh as Tulipa Humilis as it has never looked anything much, more like T. Tarda. Thanks again for your help.

Not all Tulips have huge fat leaves.
