    Dooley I have no clue why they changed colors, but they are still very pretty!
    Tulips are my favorite flowers! I'm sure someone here will be able to answer why they changed!! I really like the cute little cow in the photo too!!

    The only time I know when tulips change colour is when they are attacked by Tulip fire (a virus), however this usually gives rise to multi-coloured flowers which look like flames, hence the name. The leaves often have a silvery sheen to them if that is what has happened.
