Tulips are a popular bulb flower, and every spring you can see patches of these pretty flowers in the park.
Tulips are a genus of plants in the lily family, Tulipaceae. The leaves are striped, lanceolate to ovate-lanceolate, and the flowers are single and terminal, large and showy, with red or mixed white and yellow tepals.
They are sometimes white or yellow, 5 to 7 cm long and 2 to 4 cm wide, with six stamens, equal filaments, no style, and stigma enlarged in a cockscomb shape. They flower from April to May.
Tulips are an important spring bulbous flower, suitable for planting in borders, flower beds, and as cut flowers for indoor decoration. They can also be potted for winter ornamental use. Tulips have medicinal properties and can be used to relieve bad energy between the heart and stomach.
Tulip bulbs can degenerate, so when the flowers start to fail, sanitation workers dig up the bulbs and discard them. Many people think that tulips are disposable and can only bloom for one year, but that's not really true.
Tulip bulbs can still be re-flowered. Some people will pick up discarded bulbs from the park in the past two years, which are known as "second generation bulbs," and plant them. The flowers are still very beautiful in the spring, just a little smaller compared to the first generation.
Tulips have an elegant and mysterious appearance, giving people a sense of freshness and mystery. Whenever you see a budding tulip, your heart always fills with love.
