That is okay, monrein, I enjoyed very much learning about them.
(sighs)
During the 1500’s, Europeans became plant explorers, and began recording their findings. Beautiful botanical drawings of tulips began appearing in Europe, so beautiful, in fact, that they gained wide notice. One botanical rendering in particular, called Tulipa bononiensis, became very famous. Others showed the “flamed” tulips that were very exotic to the Europeans, and interest in these "new flowers" continued to grow. These were the multicolored blooms that today are called “Rembrandt” tulips, even though the famous Dutch painter never painted flowers.

Well yeah, but (sighs) what caused the distinctive coloration of the "parrot", which is quite different in appearance to a standard tulip?

Parrot tulips are largely a mutation of Triumph class tulips caused by a mosaic virus.
