La Tulipe de Guillestre

Natural wonder in Guillestre
  • Here is the star of Guillestre! A unique endemic species in the world, it is the only wild tulip in the Hautes-Alpes. Beautiful purplish plant hemmed with blue, an entire plot is dedicated to it at the Maison de la Nature, where you can contemplate it in April/May.

Since then, the Maison de la Nature des Hautes-Alpes in partnership with the botanical conservatory of Gap Charance have multiplied the bulbs that can be observed during the flowering in May in the garden of the Maison de la Nature.
