TULIP

Tulips are spring-blooming perennials that grow from bulbs. The tulip’s large flowers usually
bloom on scapes. Most tulips produce only one flower per stem, but a few species bear
multiple flowers on their scapes.
The showy, generally cup- or star-shaped tulip flower has three petals and three sepals,
which are often termed tepals because they are nearly identical.
Tulip plants can grow as short as 10 cm or as high as 71 cm. Tulip flowers come in a wide
variety of colors, except pure blue. Tulip stems have few leaves. Plants typically have 2 to 6
leaves, with some species having up to 12. The tulip’s leaf is strap-shaped, with a waxy
coating, and leaves are alternately arranged on the stem.
During the Ottoman Empire, the tulip became very popular in Ottoman territories and was
seen as a symbol of abundance. In fact, the era during which the Ottoman Empire was
wealthiest is often called the Tulip era or Lale Devri in Turkish. In classic and modern
Persian literature, special attention has been given to these beautiful flowers.
