Thanks, William. Perhaps then I could try a few Absalon and isolate them, but cancel the others? What did you do with your broken tulips? Does it mean they had contracted the virus? I don't want to put my existing plants at risk, but I keep thinking that reputable companies wouldn't (or perhaps shouldn't) be selling bulbs that could decimate people's existing tulips/lilies.
I've looked at some modern rembrandts and the colours simply aren't as rich or as subtle. Unless you know of a stockist... ?
