Tulip is flower plant with green leaves and beautiful
flowers. You have seen it, right? Its Latin name is Tulipa.
The name Tulipa comes from the word toliban which means
turban (because the flower looks like a turban). Tulips belong in family Liliaceae. They reproduce with seed. The flowers are
relatively big and nice and every species have different color of it.
One noticeable characteristic of tulips is that they’reclosing its flowers ate night and during cloudy weather. Tulip flowers are
opening and closing according to temperature and light around them. So, at
night and during rainy weather tulip flowers are closed in order to protect
their reproductive parts from watering the dry pollen.
Tulip flowers are opened in the morning because then, the
pollen is dry, so it sticks onto hungry insects. Then insects transfer the
pollen to other flowers and fertilization is happening, thus more pollination
is more efficient.
Tulips flourish in spring to have bigger changes for
survival in warmer temperatures. You can see this phenomenon during sunshine
and at sunset. Of course, you can’t miss it if you’re in Netherlands. The
country is the biggest producer of tulips in the world.
