tulip
Cup-shaped spring flower
A tulip is a spring-flowering bulb plant with cup-shaped blooms on a single stem, cultivated in countless colors and varieties.
Native to Central Asia, tulips became famously associated with the Netherlands after sparking speculative mania there in the 1630s.
The tulips are up early this year.
A tulip glass has a curved bowl resembling the flower's shape.
