Tulips are noble and elegant flowers, held by a slender stem that rises from a clump of silvery green leaves. For a few days their petals flood wide spaces with colour , and even when great numbers of these flowers set spring flowerbeds on fire, they retain a delicacy of hue that seems to be ablaze only when the sun shines on them directly. A calendar of tulips is an invitation to enjoy the beautiful moments of each day, knowing that they are as fleeting as that beauty that blooms in spring, thrills us, and soon fades.
