The tulip When winter is over, tulips are one of the first flowers to take the spring stage. However, you don’t have to wait for spring to grow tulips. Whether it lies in a bed, under a bush, in the crevices（裂缝） of a rock garden or in a container, a tulip bulb is an underground flower factory just waiting to “spring up” from whatever soil it occupies (占有). The whole purpose of a tulip bulb is to flower. When selecting bulbs, a simple rule of thumb(单凭经验的方法) is that the bigger the bulb is, the bigger the flower will be. Choose plump bulbs that are firm and heavy for their size. However, more difficult than selecting bulbs is first choosing from the over 100 varieties of tulips which are divided into 15 divisions. Careful selection from different divisions can help you plan a tulip garden that begins in early spring and dances on until the end of May! Plant two or three bulbs closely together. The root side of a bulb is the more rounded side and the pointed side is the part that will open and sprout foliage（叶子） and flower. Although grown in Holland since the late 16th Century, tulips are native to the mountains of Turkey. There, the winters are cold, the spring rains are plentiful. Tulips need the warmth of the summer sun to ripen next year’s flower buds. However, they need the cold of winter to rest for their lively emergence in spring. Answer the following questions. 1.
