Tulips bloom to spread and receive pollen, like other flowers. They receive and spread pollen at the same time because like many other plants, tulips are hermaphrodites.
Tulips cross pollinate naturally with the aid of pollinators like birds, butterflies, and bees. The pollen attaches itself to the pollinators while they are feeding on the flower's nectar. Then the pollinators accidentally transfer the pollen when at a second flower. You can cross-pollinate tulips by hand and is usually done if there are no pollinators or if there are desired traits that the gardener wishes to pass off to the offspring
inductive reasoning
a tulip will close in the rain because it needs to keep its pollen dry so it can produce seeds
first of all, mixing 2 pollens is mixing male with male and therefore doesn't reproduce in the first place unless you apply it to the pistil of a female flower. And most commercial tulips are already hybrids and sterile to begin with. however, if you applied the pollen of a bluebell to the pistil of a tulip, or vice versa, most likely you would not get anything. bluebells and tulips are not even in the same genus, so they are probably far too different to hybridize. There is a very rare chance that a mutation MIGHT allow hybridization, but in that case there is no real way of predicting what the offspring would be.
Tulip flowers typically have six stamens. Each stamen is composed of an anther, which produces the pollen, and a filament, which supports the anther.

If you mean "Holland tulips", it means tulips from Holland.
There are no specific collective noun for tulips. I have seen suggested, an explosion of tulips and a tiptoe of tulips. However, any noun suitable for the situation can be used, for example, a field of tulips, a bouquet of tulips, a bunch of tulips, etc.
If you are saying that "1 in 4" of the tulips are red, the answer would be 4 of the tulips are red.
No, tulips are multicellular organisms.
