The different hues on the bulbs are because of the various stages of growth and color of it’s blossoms.

None of them look ill.. When they mature, they develope a brownish skin , You dug them after bloom and before its end of season growth was finished. Young flesh of most bulbs will oxidize when dug prematurely. the purplish was ‘greener’ than the yellow bulbs..
