Normally I do not like orange flowers (none to be seen in my garden) but I must admit that those orange tulips make a striking sight. Are those Ophiopogon leaves in the background of the first photo?
Mine have opened now too Bob - but I can't get a lot of scent from them. Probably needs to be a bit hotter than it is at the moment. Bit like a hyacinth I'd say.
They're giving me a very warm welcome anyway!

I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
A few stragglers as they were a cheap late offering. Queen of Night in pots, slotted in among other planting until I find a spot for them for a year or two

There certainly is a wide variety of colours & shapes in the tulip world...enough to cater for all tastes. Here is my small collection.
Tulipa turkestanica
Tulipa 'Angélique'
Tulipa x 'Finola'
Thanks Runnybeak, the beautiful view is one of the reasons we bought this house.
Those tulips are very striking Papa Jo - does anybody know what they are called?

The second one is 'Little Beauty' and is indeed scneted, Fairy (although you have to get very close!)
And a pot of short doubles I got free:
