Tulipa Ballade


Tulip is a widely grown and highly admired flowering plant. There are over 100 species of tulip and many hybrid cultivars. They're a very common garden flower, for both borders and containers and they make good cut flowers too. Tulips grow from bulbs and flower in the springtime. They can grow up to nearly 30 inches in height. The flowers are either cup or star shaped, with three or more petals. There are many different coloured tulips, some are variegated. The leaves are tall and narrow, a bluey green colour with a waxy coating. Tulips have long been associated with The Netherlands where they are cultivated on a large scale. The brightly coloured tulip fields bring in tourists from all round the world
