Tulips reverting?

Red Tulip

Believe it or not, this is a tulip!

I don’t recall planting this type of tulip. What I think has happened is that my Texas Flame fringed tulips might have started to revert back to one of the types of tulips that they were created from.

Perhaps the tulips have been spreading and this tulip, and the ones near it, are actually new bulbs? There’s a group of 6 or so of them mixed in with the Texas Flames, and that’s why I think they might have reverted back to one of their parent species.

Either way, it’s a beautiful tulip isn’t it?

    Your photography is amazing and the tulip is exquisite. The colours are so vibrant.
    Since joining Green Thumb Sunday at the weekend, I have been bowled over by the standard of high class photography I have seen as I visit the sites on the blogroll. I think GTS is a great idea, so thank you very much for letting me join in. I feel I have learnt lots about plants, photography and people in less than a week.
