Red Mexican Tulip Watercolor Art Print & Greeting Card by Gene Irvin (1934–2026)

Red Mexican Tulip | Art Print & Greeting Card by Gene Irvin (1934–2026)

This is Gene at his most warm. The Red Mexican Tulip glows with the fiery orange-red of its poppy-like petals, set against the finely cut, lacy blue-green foliage that makes this flower so distinctive. Gene captures the cupped, silken bloom in luminous watercolor, with fine pen & ink detail defining the delicate stamens and the feathery leaves. It's a small burst of desert sunshine.

The Mexican tulip (Hunnemannia fumariifolia) is a bushy perennial in the poppy family, native to Mexico and well-suited to the warm, dry gardens of the American Southwest. Blooming from spring through fall, it's prized for its heat and drought tolerance and its cheerful, cup-shaped flowers — a familiar splash of color across sunny beds and desert landscapes.

Available in:

• 8×10 Giclée print
• 5×7 Giclée print
• Greeting card with envelope

Why collectors love it: A cheerful, warm-toned addition to Southwestern and botanical décor, and a natural companion to Gene's other desert wildflower pieces. Its bright bloom looks lovely framed and makes a sunny card.
