Description
A Parrot Tulip.
During a walk through the botanical garden in Bielefeld, Germany, I photographed this attractive flower, a parrot tulip.
Parrot tulips open their frilly petals in mid to late spring after most other tulips have bloomed and faded, extending the beautiful color show. Their huge blooms span up to 5 inches across, with streaks of color shooting through the petals like brilliant flames. Tall, elegant stems give parrot tulips a statuesque posture that make them a standout in the garden and a striking addition to floral arrangements.
