Tulip... awesome flowers in the Earth..!!!

Have you ever seen or at least ever visited to this type of a rainbow field in your life? The heaven is on the earth. The flowers of tulip gardens look like the angels have colored the ground with their Devine paints.

Basic introduction

Tulip is a perennial plant which grows from bulbs. Tulip plant is height from 4 inches (10 cm) to 28 inches (71 cm), and it depends on the species. The specialty of the tulip flower is that it blooms on a stem without bracts (the green color small leaves that protect buds).  http://dewaalventer.book.co.za/blog/cat/south-africa/ (picture)
   

Except some species that have up to four flowers per stem, normally tulip flowers bloom only one flower per stem. As the three petals and the three sepals that forms the cup shaped tulip flower are very similar to each other, all of them are referred as tepals.
Inside the flower, there are six stamens which are shorter than the tepals.

Usually, tulip plants can have 2 to6 leaves. But some species may have up to 12 leaves. Leaves are alternatively arranged on the stem and are strap shaped with wax on its surface.

Tulip bulbs typically grow on the ends of stolons, and the bulbs' tunicate coverings which are dry and papery may or may not have hairs on is surface.

Tulip cultivation

The tulip gardens are the most beautiful feature in this post. It is evem more beautiful than the individual tulip flower.
Tulips are indigenous to mountainous areas with temperate climates. Although tulips are perennials, they are often replanted annually in warmer areas of every corner of the world.

The following pictures are from the northern Netherlands in the middle of the tulip season. more than 10,000 hectares devoted to the cultivation of tulips.bulbs are pplanted in late Octobers and late Novembers. At the time these pictures were taken, the flowers are ready to be harvest and sold as cut flowers. Each year  more than three billion tulips are grown and two-third billions of the blooms are exported, mainly to the U.S. and Germany.
                           
But like a rainbow, this colorful landscape is only for a short period of time. When the flowers are harvested, the land will be cultivated for another crop or vegetable.That’s why I said it is like a rainbow….. This will appear and glance the environment….. and then suddenly disappear like it was never been there.

  3. Keep in mind that you need fats in your diet, but even
    the good fats listed above have a good amount
    of calories in them - so take it easy. With massage, however, the skin remains supple, and this allows it to tighten as
    you lose weight. The moderate carbohydrate group also consisted of adult males, but they were given a 35% carbohydrate diet.

  4. It's a new year, and that means new interior design trends are emerging. Some of the most important interior design features of Georgian houses are the moulding and cornices. When painting the walls, go slightly stronger than you're
    comfortable with.

  6. Close friends and family members could give gifts themed with the consistent decor of the
    ceremony. Candles could also be used at a wedding to provide a romantic atmosphere, however often wedding venues don't allow candles because of the fire risk. Christmas trees in various sizes would make great decorations both inside & out.

  7. Small rooms can be decorated easily and on a budget
    as well. An elegant, Victorian style curl pattern with an antique
    patina finish will give you a sophisticated bedroom that will never go out of fashion.
    The bedding is one particular area you don't wish to go cheap on when you are furnishing your own nurturing space.

  9. This particular setup of the manger scene normally happens in a set, so that you can get the Wisemen, Joseph, Mary and the little one already in the manger itself.
    personality and lifestyle will not only relieve
    stress but get you. I don’t think Chihuly has to worry about me, but I smile now every time I water the garden — no matter
    how hot it is — and it has been hot.

  10. The ribbons are either pinned at the backside of the cake or affixed with a display bow in
    the front. Dress up your little love cakes by inserting
    a heart shaped lollipop or chocolate pop, or cut hearts
    from colorful paper, attach to a stick and use in place of the candy.
    Make a Personalized 12 or 18 Month Calendar of your own.

  11. Your task would be to get factors carried out effectively, appropriately, and cost-effectively.
    I'm a big fan of Table Runners, they just add a little one thing additional in your table setting and may be used to compliment your linens, china and decor. If there are men and women to aid you out together with the celebrations, it'll definitely be an occasion which you
    seem forward to with anticipation.
