tulips
Cup-shaped spring flowers
Tulips are bulbous flowering plants with cup-shaped blooms on tall stems, typically appearing in spring.
Native to Central Asia, they became famously associated with the Netherlands, where "tulip mania" in the 1630s saw single bulbs trading for extraordinary sums.
Tulips come in virtually every color and are popular in gardens and as cut flowers: She planted tulips along the walkway.
