Nostalgic for 70s style red and yellow tulips.

[PinkCatCushion]

Growing up in the 70s I remember my parents having some tulips that came up every year. Most were vivid red but a few were bright yellow; when you looked inside they had yellow and black centres.
As a child I didn’t like them as I thought a bee had died inside them causing the black and yellow centres!
Now I am feeling nostalgic about them as they take me back to playing outside in our small front garden with my brother sleeping in his pram.
Does anyone know what sort of tulip they were and if you can still buy them? I’ve tried Googling ‘red tulips’ but I can only seem to find fancy new varieties.
I realise it’s not the time of year to buy tulip bulbs.

Red Impression has black basal blotch with yellow edge and often returns every year, you could try them?

'Apeldoorn' and 'Yellow Apeldoorn' might be what you're after.

I know what you mean @PinkCatCushion. An elderly neighbour of mine has the most gorgeous front garden. The beds are currently brimming with beautiful tulips. Proper, old school tulips. I walk past at least twice a day on my dog walks on purpose as they remind me of me great aunt’s garden.
