Parrot tulips are more "flamboyant" than most common tulips. Their petals have a unique fringe design with scalloped edges. They're a delight both outdoors and indoors.
The photos in this post are mostly black parrot tulips, which are a deep purple color. When strongly lit, the petals look more red.
This is such a photogenic tulip that I've included several different views here. I've also included a few other flower photos and one frog to break up the set as you scroll through.
This first photo was taken on an indoor windowsill.

Grape hyacinths provide a nice break from too many red hues:
