Editor's Note

Some resources list Tulipa bulbs, stems and flowers as poisonous if ingested, and may cause a dermatitis type skin rash upon contact.

Toxic principals are Tulipalin, a phytoalexin; allergins; glycoprotein.

Symptoms include stomach pain, salivation, sweating, nausea and vomiting. Skin irritation with tingling, redness, blisters, and cracks, either immediately or after a delay from contact, and may spread away from the point of contact.

We tend to err on the side of caution in PlantFiles, and the danger notation in the details above is to warn gardeners, parents and pet owners to look further for more information.

I would describe the colour as opening a bright medium red, and becoming a carmine (that is, more coral-infused) red.
It has fine red edges to the leaves and can fit nicely into any little cranny, I'm sure.
