Oh, yes, a tulip is definitely living. If you only have a tulip bulb, that is called the dormant state. There is a plant inside waiting to get out and see what the world is all about. At the proper time and temperature, with the help of a certain amount of light and nutrients, the plant will make its way up and out of the bulb. There it will absorb light energy, soil nutrients and water, and eventually produce a flower. The tulip ensures the next generation in two ways: the bulb will produce "bulbettes" and the flower may produce fertile seed. When it's finishes its reproductive job, the flower sits for a while as a leafy plant absorbing energy for next year's display. Eventually the leaves will die and the plant returns to its dormant bulb state.

Tulips cross pollinate naturally with the aid of pollinators like birds, butterflies, and bees. The pollen attaches itself to the pollinators while they are feeding on the flower's nectar. Then the pollinators accidentally transfer the pollen when at a second flower. You can cross-pollinate tulips by hand and is usually done if there are no pollinators or if there are desired traits that the gardener wishes to pass off to the offspring
