- Tulip -

I am a delight to your garden, emerging strong and radiant
A neat eye-catcher behind the white picket fence 
where chipmunks have spectacular panoramic views for miles

Don't miss my show time from November through April
I prefer a soft start of the season, melt your frozen winter heart
My family tree has long roots,the oldest bulbs originally belonged in Turkey 
... long before I became a tulip bulbs

But since the dawn of time,there has never been anyone as me
I stand out with color and volume
A outstanding source of nectar for butterflies, bees and birds
and create your garden pollinator-friendly
I am a purple tulip that symbolizes the unconventional and adventurous
