Tulips
by Faith Cormier
What is your favorite type of flower? Some people like roses.
Other people like daffodils or daisies. I think the most beautiful
kind of flower is the tulip.
Tulips don't grow from seeds. They grow from bulbs buried
under the soil. I plant them in the fall. In the spring, the flowers
bloom.
Tulips come in many colors, like red, white, yellow, purple
and pink. Some are all one color. Others are striped and
have more than one color. Still others look like they were
dipped in paint.
Some tulips have petals with
smooth edges. “Parrot tulips” are fun
flowers because have edges that
look like feathers.
Tulips grow in many places. Some
cities have a tulip festival every
year. The tulips’ bright colors are a
sure sign of spring.
