I mean that they are not naturally dual toned and they revert to their natural (dominant?) colour after a few years. That's what happened to the white tulip I posted earlier - paid big bucks fer "blueberry-cream", and a few years later, they turn all white (these orange/red were pretty cheap though) I had 'bout 10 of em last year - the orange/red ones ... this year, just one ... and lotsa reds.

huh! learned something new this morning...
Sheriff Roland:
Most of the other tulips are already passed their prime, but there are still a few pink ones openin up here & there. The main flowerbed's near-black tulips are really disappointing this year, and it seems there are lots a tulip plants in that bed that have not produced flowers this year :-\
Still, the new flowerbed (north side) are showing off their near-black tulips nicely - though I think the size of these flowerheads still has some growin left in em.
Sheriff Roland:
