Spring's Floral Herald
Tulips are beautiful and symbolic flowers that bring life and color to spring.
Originally cultivated in the highlands of Central Asia, tulips eventually made their way around the globe.
They are grown in different climates, especially in the Netherlands, where they have become a symbolic flower.The growth process of tulips begins in autumn when growers plant the bulbs of tulips in the soil in late autumn. Unlike other flowers, the bulbs of tulips store enough nutrients to bloom smoothly in the spring. When planting, farmers choose a place with sufficient light but not direct exposure to the sun to ensure that the tulips have a good growing environment.
In winter, the bulbs are dormant and quietly accumulate energy in the soil to prepare for blooming in the spring. In spring, as the temperature gradually warms up, tulips begin to sprout green buds from the ground. .It's amazing to finally be able to see indicators that the tulips are going to blossom after months of waiting. As time goes by, the leaves of the tulips begin to unfold, and then the buds begin to appear. The process of a bud slowly expanding from a newly emerged bud to a complete tulip flower appearing in front of people is full of magical beauty.
