Glowing Tulip, by Zahraa Al Hassani

Nothing can beat the beauty of a tulip on a sunny day, when you plant them fresh each year to have a new color story the next season. This is the flower that thrives in climates with long, cool springs and dry summers, and it is in fact the popular garden plant in east and west.
