To Be a Tulip or Not to Be A Tulip - That is the Question!

Tulips.  They come in a variety of colors, and are almost indicative of impending spring in the Rocky Mountains.  This vibrant cache was discovered at a friend's home, which we look after.  To an educated Tulip admirer, one should not be surprised to learn there are a species of  "Shakespearean Tulips".  Given William Shakespeare's affinity for the English language, I suspect the perfection and soliloquy of a green stalked, red  & yellow headed tulip would be anything but perfect.
