Red tulips

In the afternoon light  it looks like their petals are getting transparent with age and they are slowly changing colour from red to maroon or is that dark magenta ?!
For Flower Friday with thanks to Anni/BikerBear who is hosting from afar :-)

Thanks so much for all the Abstract Thursday entries and for your kind comments and stars for yesterday's cup of spiced coffee :-) Fortunately the gas came back on around 3 pm.
