Tulip
Common names: tulip
Tulips are plants who are members of genus Tulipa, family Liliaceae.
Tulips cannot be grown in the open in tropical climates, as they require a cold
winter season to grow successfully.
Manipulation of the tulip's growing temperature can, however, allow growers to
force tulips to flower earlier than they normally would.
Single flowers have six petals.
There are about 100 varieties, flower variations include lily-flowering types,
double flowers, fringed petals plus ruffly parrot varieties with colors including white, yellow, pink, peach, orange, red, lavender, purple or bi-colors.
Vase life is up to seven days. |
