Tulipa roccoco .. a symphony of colors in one tulip

Parrot tulips are so named for their unusually bright flowers ... they appeal to artists and free spirits who worship individuality and nuance ... highbrow designers gravitate toward their bizarre shapes and colors as the most trendy moderns, whether as cut flowers or in gardens.
Parrots can produce petals with feathered edges in various textures and densities. The petals may curl in odd directions, twist or wave ... the colors may exhibit flame variations for multiple hues ... among the most exotic is "Rococo," a vivid red that features green, yellow and purple curling accents at the base of the petals.
I am so obsessed with these types of tulips that it encouraged me to create a new group on Parrot Tulips here on Flickr:
