I Adore Tulips



Tulips
( by unknown poet)
If I was a Tulip
And you were wind’s-wings,
I would not count
My broken dreams,
But bless the coming spring.
I would let you see me
In colors-Pink, yellow and red.
You’d find me blooming By the riverbed Or,
down in the valley By the little creek,
To make proud The water falls,
To make you feel meek.
But strong winds Of late
May Again could make me weak.
My petals scattered On the ground
And gone in a week.
But I will come again
To let you see…
Life is but a circle,
I will bloom Again next spring
Is n’t it a miracle? .................. what a hope it is giving us ?That it is going to come again in spring
I'm sure every one likes this beautiful poem and this poem is written by some unknown author
but I liked this poem this makes me to write my blog about this beautiful creation of god Tulip what a beautiful name ? yesss it is...... my name tulip the adorable .... the New Zealanders could not call me by my nameTulasi .....so they used to call me Tulips their favourite n easy to pronounce name so this way I have a special connection towards this tulip
especially in New Zealand we used to grow them and used to gift as flowers and with pot also we used to get the tulip bulbs in food towns and in vegetable markets too
The tulip is a perennial, bulbous plant with showy flowers in the genus Tulipa, which comprises 109 species
Tulips are spring-blooming perennials that grow from bulbs. Depending on the species, tulip plants can grow as short as 4 inches (10 cm) or as high as 28 inches (71 cm). The tulip's (tulip wiki)Tulip stems have few leaves, with larger species tending to have multiple leaves. Plants typically have 2 to 6 leaves, with some species having up to 12. The tulip's leaf is strap-shaped, with a waxy coating, and leaves are alternately arranged on the stem. These fleshy blades are often bluish green in color.Origin of the name Although tulips are often associated with the Netherlands, commercial cultivation of the flower began in the Ottoman Empire parts of Africa Asia Europe Tulip the word from English this is something about the origin of tulips
The meaning of tulips is generally perfect love. Like many flowers, different colors of tulips also often carry their own significance. Red tulips are most strongly associated with true love, while purple symbolizes royalty. The meaning of yellow tulips has evolved somewhat, from once representing hopeless love to now being a common expression for cheerful thoughts and sunshine. White tulips are used to claim worthiness or to send a message of forgiveness. Variegated tulips, once among the most popular varieties due to their striking color patterns, represent beautiful eyes
Tulip Sunday is the 'jewel in the crown' of the Spring Festival and is a great chance to see one of the country's biggest displays of tulips blooming in a blaze of colour. The tulip bulbs may have come from South land but Wellington's Dutch community still provides the traditional food, music and dancing that helps make the day so special.
even in Auckland also in the Eden gardens there are beautiful tulip beds and it is really feast to eyes and this garden is very near to my home just walkable distance every day i used to take my kids to those gardens and used to admire hours together spending the time with beautiful dreams really really i love to spend my time in tulip gardens
