Peony tulip

            Peony-flowering tulips are noted for their large double flowers that resemble old-fashioned peonies. 
Of all the bulbous plants, the tulip is without a doubt the most popular. Tulips are grown on an extremely large scale, especially in the Netherlands where their history goes back to the end of the sixteenth century. That was when the first tulips were noticed growing in the vicinity of Leiden. Now, more than 400 years later, billions of tulips are being cultivated, the vast majority of them being exported from Holland. Now there are more than 3,000 cultivated varieties registered.
