Tulips

Too much water!!! Back off on the watering.. Let the soil dry out a tad in between waterings.

Most flowers grown from bulbs like the tulip are best planted in the fall as bulbs while the plant is dormant. Believe it or not, they will actually start growing roots in the fall and during the winter that will help the plant off to a good start in the spring.

Kannada is a language spoken in India, especially in the state of Karnataka. Believe it or not, the English "tulip" is pronounced "tulip" in Kannada.

The tulip plant was introduced to Europe from Turkey. The word, tulip originated in Persia from a word meaning "turban" because someone thought the flower looked like a turban.

only in the spring! However, plant the bulb in the fall.

Carnations are perennials, but many people grow them as annuals.

Fragrance is a subjective thing. What you pick up I may never even notice, or I may think it smells horrible. With so many varieties of daffodils, there is a wide range of fragrances from the "punch you in the face" perfume of the Paperwhite to no scent at all. You might say that they generally have the smell of "spring", and if you grew up with daffodils in a home garden, you have an idea of what that means.

Narcissus (daffodils) were used in ancient Roman perfumes and French medival perfumes. Today the French still use the scented oils for much of their floral perfume producton. For modern scents, you can find daffodils in "Eternity" by Calvin Klein, "First" by Van Cleef & Arpels, and "Gucci Rush 2".

Daffodils are perennials as long as you take good care of them. Some people do not like the looks of daffodil stems and leaves after the plant flowers. They cut them off and this means that the bulb does not get enough sunlight to help the bulb store energy for the next year. Or they over water the area because of other plants nearby and the bulbs rot. So leave the leaves till they turn yellow. Then cut the leaves off.

Clean them well, let them dry for a few days and then put them in a box or paper envelope (something breathable). Label the box carefully, so that you can tell which is which in the spring. Store them in a cold place, like the garage or refrigerator. I don't believe they need to freeze, but they do need to get cold.

You might not actually need to dig your bulbs. Check your zone. They may be able to overwinter in the ground.

Flower bulb is a flower factory and underground storehouse. Flower bulbs are mostly are imported and bought from commercial sources.

The leading country to produce tulips is Holland.

Blue tulips are actually quite rare. Back in the day tulips were the rage. Almost everyone grew tulips and tulips made such a high price that murders were commited because of jealousy and greed for the best tulips. Tulips were often used with their bright colors to signify certain events. Now, tulips aren't that high priced. But the only tulip that you can get a high price for is the blue tulip.

roses are more romantic that tulips...if you ask me:)

Tulip wood (Poplar or Tulip Poplar) is the wood used in many wooden match sticks. When dry, it will burn very quickly. So quickly that you will stay warm running back and forth with wood. It is not harmful to burn- just poor firewood. A bit mixed in with hardwood is OK, but it will last about as long as tissue paper. I would not buy it, but might burn small amounts to dispose of branches from the yard, etc.

Tulips are bulbs planted in the Fall for blooming in early Spring. So yes tulips are a Spring plant, but the bulbs need to be planted outside in the Fall to allow time for the bulb to produce.

You plant tulip bulbs in the fall. During most of the winter, the bulb is dormant. Then the weather warms and the bulb starts to grow. If you are growing tulips from seed, the seeds germinate in 60-90 days but it may take 5-7 years to flower.

Tulip Poplar trees are fast-growing trees but do not have the common problems of most fast-growing trees, such as a short lifespan and weak wood.

The average lifespan of a Tulip Poplar is 200 - 300 years. However, I have read elsewhere that it can live much longer.

You can try to replant the bulbs when the petals have dropped back - plant the bulbs with the leaves still on (you can remove the flower stems), in a sunny location. Fertilize with a bulb fertilizer or bone meal.

Realize, however, that forced bulbs like this are most likely "spent" and will probably not bloom the following spring.

Yes, I would think so. Give the plant water and sunlight after it blooms until all of the leaves dry up. Then keep it in a dry place until fall and set in the ground, about 4 inches deep with the roots down.

I do warn you- tulips are not like daffodils- they do seem to make new bulbs and spread and usually die out in a few years.

If you want the tulip to be "true" (exactly like the parent) in the next generation, they you harvest the new bulbs. However, if you are working on new colors, shapes, etc. then the tulip can have seeds in a seed pod high on a stem where the flower used to be. Dispersal of the seed is by dropping on site or carry off by animals.

Tulips do best grown during cool springs and can continue to flourish throughout hot and dry summers. Be sure not to over water, for this could create the bulb to rot.

How big tulips grow will depend on the variety of tulip that is planted. Tulips can be any size from as small as four inches high, or as tall as 28 inches high.

"Yes, it is quite possible to send tulips from Pro Flowers. They have a wide range of bouquets to be sent. They are very gorgeous and would make a great gift."

When the bloom begging to wilt.
