Tulips

They rise up from the ground to greet the spring. Few flowers are as pretty as this early growing thing. A varied motley of colors are available. Once the blooms mature, they are beautiful. The most common varieties are red and yellow. If you have fertile soil, they are almost certain to grow. In the Netherlands, see the vast fields they fill. Look in the background, there is usually a windmill. These flowers can be found practically everywhere in the world. They grow and bloom no matter which flag is unfurled.
