Purple splendour past

This purple tulip has stood proud in our garden for a couple of weeks. It's another that just appeared from nowhere. All the others around the garden are red and yellow, 'parrot tulips' I think it said on the box. We bought them from jersey Plants a few years ago and they still come back in profusion. But this one is a mystery.

Sadly the snails have hastened it's demise.
