Tulips Petal Shapes
Tulips which changed colours from Cadmium Red to peach pink and burgundy
First planting 2022: Bright dense red with a bronze early appearance. Orangey petal flares and yellow centres. Seven images show how as the tulips age, petals turn to peach blending to pale pink which is predominant on petal edges when the sunlight catches their luminosity. The previously black centre changes to burgundy. Grasses in their wintry dried form make an excellent backdrop to tulips planting.
Tulip Salmon Van Eijk from 2021 planting: Reappeared, with their cerise inner pink delicately blended to pale pink outer petals, contrasting with a deep violet centre.
