Those look like Red Emperor tulips to me. They are practically a species
tulip, (very close to their Turkish ancestors ) and one of the most reliable
for perennializing. You could probably look them up on google and check to
see if the pictures match.

Does any one know the name of the tulip pictured at the link below? My
parents were given 6 bulbs about 35 years ago by a distant relative who
farmed tulips in the Vale of York. They are left in the ground all year
and
each bulb produces offspring every year so they do need occasional
thinning
out.
