Q. plz list some of the colours if you can, i no there are 150 species but i would just like to no a few of the proper colours coz anyone can say red or yellow. thx


Answer
Basically every color except blue, they haven't been able to create a blue hybrid yet. There are ruffle edged tulips, dual color tulips, green tulips, black tulips, fringed tulips, it goes on and on. I find the ice cream tulip very alluring, http://www.dutchgardens.com/Ice%20Cream%20Tulip/21551,30765,default,cp.html
Check your local garden center, the should have their tulip bulbs out now for fall planting. Single bulbs are usually less than a dollar so it would be inexpensive to try out a few colors to see what you like.
