Tulips are one of the most popular spring flowers. They look beautiful in bouquets and in garden beds. Elegant, colorful, delightful with noble simplicity. Their color can take a variety of colors: from yellow to red and white. It is a delicate flower with a beautiful fragrance, the petals of which unfold over time.

“The stately tulip looked at it crookedly,
That the fijol in friendship stayed with the nettle.
You came to the garden that very morning;
Seeing that it came down beautifully, he snapped the tulip.
And when he got to the bouquet and the fijol happened,
He wanted to pluck it, but got burned by a nettle.
The tulip looked at it, wise beyond time,
And recognized that a friend, though unequal, would seem.”
Ignacy Krasicki, “Tulip and fijolek”
