Mystery tulip!?
Dear all delightful gardening folks! I wondered if any of you knowlegable peeps knew what type of tulip is in my garden? It's the only one of its kind in the bed. About 17 inches tall, full like a peony, pink and smells like chocolate and rose...!! Please can anyone help? (Pic should be attached but not sure it's worked)

Hi Ellie8
try reducing the size of the photo ... should upload then
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Thanks dove from above, cropping the image did the trick.
It might be Angelique, but I always think it's paler than that.
If you don't get an ID, try looking at one of the specialist bulb growers online to see if you see something similar. Peter Nyssen, GeeTee, and Avon Bulbs are a few to try.

I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Looks like 'Angélique' to me. See my garden site at http://www.rezeau.org/wp-garden/en/tulipa-angelique-2/
or might be a variation of Angélique, 'Finola', see http://image1.gardenersworld.com/img.jpg?tag=00ef990d-8aaf-4cf1-b66d-b3c510a7d613&width=1536&quality=40
Thank you fairy girl and papi jo. I think it is Angélique! Thanks a million both
