  1. There is no tulip variety officially named "Cezanne" in the international classification system. It is likely that there is some confusion involving one of the following:
    1. The "Sanne" tulip — an incredibly popular Dutch variety with a name that sounds similar. It is an elegant tulip that combines characteristics of both the Triumph and Lily-flowered classes. It features large, goblet-shaped blooms in a delicate apricot-pink hue with a creamy edge, and it possesses a pleasant fragrance.
    2. Paintings by Paul Cézanne — the renowned French Post-Impressionist artist created several well-known still lifes featuring these flowers, such as "Vase of Tulips" (*Le Vase de tulipes*, 1890) and "Tulips and Apples" (1894). His canvases most frequently depict classic red tulips.

  2. "Sanne" Tulip — A Name That Sounds Similar
    This is the most likely candidate, as its name is frequently confused with "Cézanne".
    Class: A hybrid combining characteristics of the Triumph and Lily-flowered classes.
    Appearance: An elegant, goblet-shaped flower, reaching a height of 45–60 cm, with slightly recurved petals.
    Coloration: Features a unique, vintage-style gradient. It opens in a deep pink hue with a creamy margin; as it blooms, the tone gradually shifts toward delicate apricot, salmon, and peach shades.
    Distinctive feature: Possesses a very pleasant, pronounced sweet fragrance.
