Tulips

About

The tulip symbolizes perfect love.  Usually cupped with 3 petals and 3 sepals, growing from 6 inches to 24 inches in height.

Tulips are perennial; however, centuries of hybridizing sometime limit the bulbs ability to come back every year.  Therefore, they are often treated as annuals.
