As you wander down the streets of Niagara-on-the-Lake, you might look over to the sides of the road and see rows upon rows of colorful tulips - gorgeous tall standing flowers of all different vibrant shades declaring that spring has arrived.
Tulips are a flower that grow from a bulb planted in the ground, and are a perennial plant, meaning that they live for more than two years. The size of the tulip can be anywhere from 10 to 70 centimetres tall. They are also considered to be quite a hardy plant and can grow in unlikely places and even in the cold and snowy locations. This is one of the...
... reasons why they can be found at the sides of roads such as in Ontario.
Tulips are often associated with Holland, and they appear on a lot of artwork and tourist brochures about Holland but both the flower and even the name comes from the Persian Empire. It is indigenous to Iran, Afghanistan and Turkey. The flower was first bought to Europe and traded between the gardeners there, and some varieties of tulips were so valuable they were worth hundreds of pounds.
Now however, they are much more common all over the world and due to their variegated colors, they are a very popular flower everywhere.
