Tulipa La Belle Époque- Double Early Tulip
The bulbs have certainly been mislabeled, because during flowering, surprise: it was absolutely not The Belle Époque! What a shame, especially considering the price of bulbs of this coveted variety! Analysis and revision: The translation is accurate and captures the meaning and context of the original text. There are no spelling or grammar errors. The tone of the text is maintained throughout the translation. Well done!

Tulipa 'La Belle Époque' is a recent variety that is quite indescribable, belonging to a new generation of double tulips. It stands out from all the others with its rare and unique colour, with shades of old pink, soft amber, caramel milk illuminated with cream, and apricot on the edges. Its large double corolla with a rounded shape blooms gracefully, like a magnolia flower. It flowers in April and is worthy of the most beautiful watercolours. Display its fascinating flowers in a large pot on a patio or along the edge of a bed, amidst a backdrop of wild flowers.
Tulipa 'La Belle Époque' belongs to the Liliaceae family. Of horticultural origin, it is currently classified in the group of early double tulips, whose main characteristic is to flower at the same height, making it a popular category among enthusiasts of well-arranged beds. They often display a mix of colours under the name 'Murillo' tulips. Short and sturdy stems measuring 35cm (14in) tall emerge from widely lanceolate glaucous green leaves. The large double flowers, with their variable and unique colours, are fully open. Green shades can occasionally be observed on the outside of the corolla, blending with the subtle mix of captivating tones that characterises this variety. Flowering takes place in April, in the heart of the tulip season.
Tulipa 'La Belle Époque' deserves its own spot in the garden where its beautiful blooms can be admired and appreciated. Its flowers are enhanced by the small 'daisies' of chamomiles, umbels, and feathery foliage of yarrows, wild chervil, or ornamental carrot. Its base can be covered with silver basket or Dichondra 'Silver Falls', overflowing in cascades from a large pot. In a vase, it can accompany, for example, T. 'Françoise', T. 'Greenstar', and T. 'Purple Tower', or even vintage-toned florist's ranunculus, tender pink oriental hyacinths, and a few branches of jasmine for fragrance.
They are unmatched for bringing the colours of spring to pots or sunny gardens. This tulip beautifully decorates balconies and patios. When designing your flower beds, you must consider the height and flowering period of the tulips, as these parameters can vary significantly from one cultivar to another. It is wise to plant extra bulbs for bouquets, as they make superb cut flowers that last a long time in a vase.

Botanical data
Plant the bulbs from October to December for a beautiful spring flowering. Choose a sunny or a partially shaded area. Plant the bulbs as soon as possible in light, fertile, and well-drained soil that has been deeply loosened. Plant them 15cm (6in) deep (the bulbs should be covered with twice their height of soil). Space the bulbs 10cm (4in) apart (making sure they do not touch each other) to create a mass effect that will give a more decorative appearance. Remove the flower stalks after flowering. Allow the leaves to dry completely before cutting them.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
