Tulips with a Large Butterfly

The group contains four open tulips supported by slender stems and narrow leaves. A butterfly is perched on the highest plant at the right, holding its broad wings open. The uncluttered scene is devoted to the flowers, their foliage, and the visiting insect.

Curious Facts About Tulips and Visiting Butterflies

Tulips grow from underground bulbs that store nutrients for the plant. Their flowers usually open more widely in warmth and may partially close during cooler conditions. A butterfly may stop on a blossom to drink nectar, rest, or warm itself in sunlight.

Questions and answers

Questions and Answers

Do tulips naturally come in many colors?
Yes. Cultivated tulips occur in a broad range of colors and patterns, including striped and multicolored varieties. A truly blue tulip, however, does not occur naturally.
Why might a butterfly sit with its wings open?
Opening the wings can help the insect absorb heat from the sun. It may also reveal markings used for recognition, warning, or startling a predator.
Will a butterfly harm a tulip when it lands?
A brief visit normally causes no harm. Butterflies are light, and they usually feed without damaging the flower, though their bodies may pick up and carry a little pollen.
