Somewhere near the city center of Amsterdam along one of the great canals was a row of colorful flower-shops.

As you can see here, they did not sell only flowers...

********************
Tulip (Tulipa) is a genus of about 100 species of
flowering plants in the family Liliaceae. Its species
are native to southern Europe, north Africa, and Asia
from Anatolia and Iran (where the flower is suggested
on the nation's flag) from east to northeast of China
and Japan. The centre of diversity of the genus is in
the Pamir and Hindu Kush mountains and the steppes of Kazakhstan.

They are perennial bulbous plants growing to 10–70
centimetres (4–27 in) tall, with a small number of
strap-shaped, waxy-textured, usually glaucous green
leaves and large flowers with six petals. The fruit is
a dry capsule containing numerous flat disc-shaped seeds.
