Not mania-inspiring

The surprise tulip bulbs from the market or wherever they were picked up, at least the ones in sudden bloom, are that square, boxy dusty rose-purple (Apeldoorn? Or maybe Apeldoorn are the showy ones and these are Darwin?). With luck there will be better colors to come. Red and yellow would be two good ones. Since they were picked up very late and had barely any fridge-chill time, who can quibble?
