I planted a bag of mixed tulip bulbs last fall and one of the bulbs produced the flower that you see in the attached pictures. The foliage looked just like a regular tulip when it started to come up, but then it branched out and has at least a dozen small tulip-like flowers on it – mostly white, but some are pink.

Has anyone seen anything like this? What causes bulbs to morph?

Never seen anything like that before! Blinking

It must have been damaged somehow?
Of course I talk to myself; sometimes I need expert advice!

Could this be a "Bouquet Tulip"?
