The tulip is a Eurasian and North African genus of perennial, bulbous plants in the lily family. It is an herbaceous herb with showy flowers, of which around 75 wild species are currently accepted.
The genus's native range extends west to the Iberian Peninsula, through North Africa to Greece, the Balkans, Turkey, throughout the Levant (Syria, Israel, Palestinian Territories, Lebanon, Jordan) and Iran, north to Ukraine, southern Siberia and Mongolia, and east to the Northwest of China. The tulip's centre of diversity is in the Pamir, Hindu Kush, and Tien Shan mountains. It is a common element of steppe and winter-rain Mediterranean vegetation.
A number of species and many hybrid cultivars are grown in gardens or as potted plants.
Tulips are spring-blooming perennials that grow from bulbs. Depending on the species, tulip plants can be between 4 inches (10 cm) and 28 inches (71 cm) high. The tulip's large flowers usually bloom on scapes with leaves in a rosette at ground level and a single flowering stalk arising from amongst the leaves.Tulip stems have few leaves. Larger species tend to have multiple leaves. Plants typically have two to six leaves, some species up to 12. The tulip's leaf is strap-shaped, with a waxy coating, and the leaves are alternately arranged on the stem; these fleshy blades are often bluish green in color. Most tulips produce only one flower per stem, but a few species bear multiple flowers on their scapes (e.g. Tulipa turkestanica). The generally cup or star-shaped tulip flower has three petals and three sepals, which are often termed tepals because they are nearly identical. These six tepals are often marked on the interior surface near the bases with darker colorings. Tulip flowers come in a wide variety of colors, except pure blue (several tulips with "blue" in the name have a faint violet hue).

You smile as the sun sets on the window, and the car fills up with light,
Make a smile tulip, don't think of me as something that's passed,
I am not written in the book, but I intend to last...
And as the sun comes up you know it's really going down,
You only framed it incorrectly, now you cannot turn it round,
If there's enough of us here left, then we'll drive it into town,
And when we pass the field of tulips, then I'll put the knuckle down...
Don't frown tulip,
Make a smile,
Don't frown tulip,
You know it's all worthwhile...
There were lions by the roadside, I was driving with my Father,
Through a dream of French forests, and all was warmth and solace,
And all said He is with us, but always sad and serious,
Standing outside in the garden, pained and peerless...
Don't frown tulip
Make a smile
Don't frown tulip
You know it's all worthwhile...
Make a smile at the end of your tether,
This was never gonna last forever...
The woods all were peopled with daughters and sons,
The teeming uncounted and unchosen ones,
Who don't dance anymore, they just move around in bubbles,
And nobody notices nobody's troubles,
Nobody notices nobody's troubles...
Don't frown tulip
Make a smile,
Don't frown tulip,
You know it's all worthwhile...
Make a smile at the end of your tether,
This was never gonna last forever,
