Spring Bloom with Cup-Shaped Petals
Tulips are popular garden plants known for their symmetrical, cup-like flower heads and smooth, broad leaves. Growing from underground bulbs stored throughout the winter, these plants produce a single flower stem each spring. The foliage emerges early in the season, forming upright green ribbons that frame the central blossom as it expands toward the sunlight.
Origin and Characteristics of Tulips
Originally native to mountainous regions of Central Asia, tulips were brought to Europe centuries ago and became famous in the Netherlands. Tulips open their petals during warm daylight hours to welcome pollinators and close them tightly at night or during chilly rainfall. Unlike many garden flowers, tulips continue to grow taller even after being cut and placed in a vessel of fresh water.
