About Tulips
Tulips are known to herald the true coming of warmer weather and bring lots of color to any garden or backyard. They come up in early spring after species like snowdrops and crocuses are already spent.
When it comes to planting anything, The Old Farmer’s Almanac is the place to go. It tells you what time of year to plant, the soil type to plant in, and more. If you want to add a tulip display to your garden, this publication has plenty of tips for success. The first is to plan on planting tulip bulbs in early autumn before the ground freezes. And be sure to plant your bulbs soon after buying them. They don’t store in the same way seed packets do. Bulbs should be planted in well-draining soil about four to six inches apart. Each hole should be six to eight inches deep, or about three times the height of the bulb. Once bulbs are in the ground, you can leave your tulips alone and simply wait for them to pop up in the spring.
While tulips bring life to your garden, you can also cut them and put them in a vase inside. To ensure they last as long as possible, make diagonal cuts and keep them in cool, fresh water. They’ll last for up to a week like this and allow you to enjoy your garden’s beauty indoors as well as out.
From their origins as a wildflower in central Asia, tulips have been cultivated around the world for centuries. Now grown in innumerable variations of color, size, and petal shape, they are considered an appropriate flower for virtually any occasion.

The stamp features a colorful array of tulips against a bright white background. To create this image, the photographer backlit a wide, horizontal arrangement of flowers on a lightbox. Since this composition was wider than his camera could photograph at high resolution, he made three separate images, moving from left to right. Each image was exposed six times at different exposure values. He digitally combined the resulting eighteen captures to form a single image.
