The word "tulip" is derived from the Persian word for turban.
Today, the tulip is Turkey's national flower.
Tulips are usually large, showy, and brightly coloured, generally red, orange,
pink, yellow, or white (usually in warm colours).
While tulips can be bred to display a wide variety of colours, black tulips have historically been difficult
to achieve.
The Netherlands is the world's main producer of commercial tulip plants, producing as many as 3 billion bulbs annually, the majority for export. Find out more information about tulips 📖
