Unknown flowers blooming in the planter near the visitor center in Old Town Square. Light creamy yellow with red streaking underneath. I'm guessing they're some sort of dwarf tulip; whatever they are, they're very pretty!
ADDENDUM: I looked them up, and it turns out they're what's known as a "species" or "wild" tulip, originating in the Turkish highlands. Apparently this is what all tulips originally looked like centuries ago, before people bred them for specific characteristics.
