*likes the sunlit ones too*
As for being mutants...yeah they actually are. This style of tulip resulted from genetic mutations (the colour breaks are from a virus that cause the colours to ...well break)
...these ones are pretty simple ~ I like them because they are totally alien (but then I like wonky flowers/flowers on twisty stems.. and will keep a solitary one in a vase just to appreciate it's individuality)...but there are those that have completely feathered edges to the petals that are also part of the parrot family of tulips.
