Naming flower bulbs<br />

Tulips, daffodils and hyacinths are the most famous types of flower<br />

Did you know that there are 3000 different kinds of tulips?<br />

bulbs but there are also other kinds known as ‘special flower bulbs’.<br />

These include the crocus, the snowdrop and the grape hyacinth. Of<br />

course you know that tulips, daffodils and hyacinths are not all alike.<br />

They vary in shape, colour and size, and new species are developed<br />

all the time.<br />

and stronger species by crossing different<br />

species. New tulips are regularly named after<br />

famous people, princes, princesses, singers,<br />

film actors, etc.<br />
