Tulips (Tulipa) are a genus of spring-blooming perennial herbaceous bulbiferous

geophytes (having bulbs as storage organs). The flowers are usually large, showy,
and brightly coloured, generally red, orange, pink, yellow, or white (usually in
warm colours). They often have a different coloured blotch at the base of the tepals
(petals and sepals, collectively), internally. Because of a degree of variability
within the populations and a long history of cultivation, classification has been
complex and controversial. The tulip is a member of the lily family, Liliaceae,
along with 14 other genera, where it is most closely related to Amana,
Erythronium, and Gagea in the tribe Lilieae
