: Is it possible for tulips to change colors, each year.

When some hybrid tulips produce side bulbs (babies) the babies can be of a different color than the parent, usually the base color of the bulb origionally hybridized. So it may seem as if your tulips are changing color when the origional bulb is actually dead or not strong enough to produce flower anymore.
