Tulips!

My favourite flower this week is the Tulip.A lover of the cold weather!
There is something cool about the tulip, they have this confident energy! They can hold their own...no need for them to be mixed with any other variety of flowers in a bouquet. A stunning bouquet of Tulips always looks incredibly elegant and crisp. Tulips come in so many colours now. I must say its kinda exciting...
Here are some quick crazy facts about Tulips:
- Tulips actually belong to the Lily family and are relatives of the family that include onions.
-Tulips are edible -- or, at least, parts of them are. The petals are said to range in taste from "a mild bean-like taste, to a lettuce-like taste, to no taste at all."  I should mention maybe dont chomp on the next tulip in sight, it may have been sprayed with some weird chemical!
- Unlike any other flower, tulips still grow as a cut flower.The process is known as phototropism.
- Tulips get really thirsty so you need to keep an eye on their water levels on a daily basis. They thrive on clean water so change the water every day to get maximum time with them.
-Tulip flowers are considered to be a symbol of perfect lovers, their passion, love, romanticism and dreaminess. ohhhhh so sweet!
