Definetly a type of tulip, as they come in so many shapes, sizes and color. (My wife says without a doubt. She plants various tulips every year.)



Here's a relative to the tulip you are asking about, from a few years ago...note the similar shape, but different tips.

Trivia:

There is no such thing as a black tulip

The closest is a very dark purple I think

There was a contest to see if someone could breed a black tulip, and it's not possible!

You may now resume your normal tulip picture taking

A thoroughly unscientific research unearthed this...Tulipa 'Doctor James Parkinson' ... I do hope this helps.

I agree - the name isn't 100% correct, but a tulip none-the-less!

Click on, everyone!

It appears to be a Lily-flowered Tulip called Ballade, introduced in 1953: Lily-flowered Tulip

Story's not as good though.
