Tulip | Most Beautiful Tour
Tulips form a genus of spring-blooming perennial herbaceous bulbiferous geophytes (having bulbs as storage organs). The flowers are usually large, showy and brightly coloured, generally red, pink, yellow, or white (usually in warm colours). They often have a different coloured blotch at the base of the tepals (petals and sepals, collectively), internally. Because of a degree of variability within the populations, and a long history of cultivation, classification has been complex and controversial. The tulip is a member of the Liliaceae (lily) family, along with 14 other genera, where it is most closely related to Amana, Erythroniumand Gagea in the tribe Lilieae. There are about 75 species, and these are divided among four subgenera. The name “tulip” is thought to be derived from a Persian word for turban, which it may have been thought to resemble. Tulips originally were found in a band stretching from Southern Europe to Central Asia, but since the seventeenth century have become widely naturalisedand cultivated (see map). In their natural state they are adapted to steppes and mountainous areas with temperate climates. Flowering in the spring, they become dormant in the summer once the flowers and leaves die back, emerging above ground as a shoot from the underground bulb in early spring,More info:wiki

Tulips are a popular flower due to their bright and cheerful appearance. They also contain glycosides which can be extremely detrimental to the health of animals that eat them. Poisonings can occur from consuming any part of the plant, although the highest concentrations of the alkaloids are found in the bulb of the plant. If your pet consumes material from the tulip plant, it is important to contact a veterinarian for further instructions. Consumption of this plant can be fatal, and supportive treatment improves the chance of survival.
The tulip is a brightly colored member of the lily family that contains a toxic alkaloid, Tuliposide A. Contact your veterinarian immediately if your pet has ingested the tulip.

#2 10 Tulip Varieties for the Spring Garden,More info:thespruce
Gardeners have a bewildering choice from among thousands of different tulip cultivars, but for convenience, various commercial bulb suppliers categorize them into defined groups. Knowing these categories can be helpful when you are choosing tulips for your own garden.
The Tulipa genus includes at least 75 species of perennial bulbs, each of which may have hundreds, if not thousands, of cultivars. Most species originated in Southern Europe and Eastern Asia—the name “tulipa” is thought to originate from the Persian word for “turban.” But many species have been in cultivation since the 10th Century in Asia (16th Century in Europe), so the original parentage of many modern cultivars is uncertain. To this day, though, most tulips prefer the kind of conditions common to the original native areas—porous, well-draining soil and full sun.
#1 Top 11 Most Beautiful tulips fields in the Netherlands,More info:agronomag
Large flower fields, creating a mosaic of kaleidoscopic colors, are some of the most visited landmarks in the Netherlands. Seen from a distance, these fields look like colored crayons arranged neatly in a box. The vibrant blue, the electrifying red, the pale pink, the golden yellow and the royal violet catch your eye along with the tulip farmers who hope, like every year, to make profit from the sale of these famous spring flowers.
Hundreds of thousands of tourists come in every season to catch a piece of the natural color show for which Netherlands is recognized throughout the world. They park their caravans beside the tulips fields in an attempt to discover every hue and get acquainted with rare species. More than 3 billion tulips are grown every year here, and two-thirds of them are exported, most to the United States and Germany.
The tulip season starts in March and lasts until August, several “generations” of tulips being grown in this period. After the last crop is harvested, the land is cultivated with vegetables.
The business of growing flower bulbs began almost 400 years ago, and today the Netherlands produces more than 9 billion bulbs each year, of which two thirds are exported worldwide.
