I've never seen a tulip like this one? Is it a rare one?

Its a type of parrot tulip.
Like variegation in leaves its a viral mutation caused by a mosaic virus.
These are like the ones that traded for huge money in Holland in the 16th century.

Thank you, Steve. I somehow find it hard to associate the words 'mutation' and 'virus' with such a delightful looking plant...
