Hello Everyone,
This is another Tulip photo and I hope you like it:)
Have a Great Weekend,
Chris Tolga

Tulip (Tulipa) is a genus of about 100 species of flowering plants in the family Liliaceae. Its specias are native to southern Europe, north Africa, and Asia from Anatolia and Iran (where the flower is suggested on the nation's flag) from east to northeast of China and Japan. The centre of diversity of the genus is in the Pamir and Hindu Kush mountains and the steppes of Kazakhstan.

They are perennial bulbous plants growing to 10–70 centimetres (4–27 in) tall, with a small number of strap-shaped, waxy-textured, usually glaucous green leaves and large flowers with six petals. The fruit is a dry capsule containing numerous flat disc-shaped seeds.

Introduction to Western Europe
It is unclear who first brought the flower to northwest Europe. The most widely accepted story is that of Oghier Ghislain de Busbecq, Ambassador from Ferdinand I to Suleyman the Magnificent of the Ottoman Empire in 1554. He remarks in a letter upon seeing "an abundance of flowers everywhere; Narcissus, hyacinths, and those which in Turkish Lale, much to our astonishment, because it was almost midwinter, a season unfriendly to flowers" (see Busbecq, qtd. in Blunt, 7). By 1559, an account was given by Conrad Gessner of seeing tulips flowering in the garden of Councilor Herwart in Augsburg, Bavaria. Due to the very nature of the tulip's growing cycle, if the bulbs are to be removed from the ground, it generally occurs in June, and they must be replanted again by September to endure the winter, Busbecq's account of the supposed first sighting of tulips by a European is likely spurious. While possible, it is doubtful that Busbecq could successfully have had the tulip bulbs removed, shipped, and replanted between his first sighting of them in March 1558 and Gessner's description in 1559. After introduction of the Tulip to Europe, it is believed to gain much popularity and shown as a sign of abundance and indulgence in the Ottoman Empire, The era which the Empire was wealthiest is called the Tulip Era, in Turkish Lale Devri.

Hello Chris,
I love the colour of this tulip and the way the light shows it off against the dark background. I have to agree tith other TLers that the way this is set on a diagonal with the single leaf pointing towards the corner is very attractive.Is this from your garden? Have a great week-end.
Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Chris, I was going to make an attempt to grow them myself this year, way too late now so it will have to wait. Excellent capture for many reds are so hard to get right. The darker background works well and the bud is well situated within the frame. TFS,
David
