Strawberries and Cream Tulips

Welcome spring with some strawberry and cream tulips (okay, I'm not sure what the real name of these colored tulips are but they sure make me crave some ice-cream). Does this make you drool for ice-cream too?  I bought a bag with a combination of these tulips and red tulips from Costco 2 years ago... strangely, only these tulips grew to the right height and size.  It remains a mystery to me why my red tulips are short and stumpy with a bigger bloom.  Can anybody solve this mystery? :)  

P.S. there is a variety of tulips called ice-cream tulips that look adorable too! Maybe one day, I'll buy some bulbs. :D
