About Tulipa gesneriana:
Tulipa gesneriana, commonly known as the garden tulip or Didier's tulip, is a bulbous perennial belonging to the family Liliaceae. Originally native to the mountainous regions of Central Asia, tulips were cultivated extensively in the Ottoman Empire before arriving in Europe in the 16th century, where they famously sparked "Tulip Mania" in the Netherlands during the 1630s. The species is characterized by its solitary, goblet-shaped flower atop a smooth, upright stem, with broad, slightly glaucous basal leaves. Today, thousands of cultivated varieties descend from this species, making it one of the most widely grown ornamental plants in the world.
