If seen from the time of flowering, tulips are classified into :

Tulips that flower earlier.

- Single Early (leaf crown layer, early flowering)
Flowers only have six petals. Flowering in early April. This type is a descendant of the type 'Duke Van Thol'. Plants tend to be short, about 20-30 cm high plant. Example: 'Apricot Beauty' and 'Christmas Dream.'
- Double Early (layered petals, flowering earlier)
Flowers have more than six petals but considerably less than the Double Late kind. Plant height of about 20-30 cm. Flowers durable and strong stems. Flowering in early April. This type is a descendant of the tulip 'Murillo' with white flowers, consisting of 120 cultivars. Example: 'Peach Blossom' and 'Monte Carlo.'
- Kaufmaniana
Types developed from the species Tulipa kaufmanniana Turkestan origin. Tulip This type of flowering very early, in Washington, DC sometimes already flowering in early March. Short trunk, the flowers open in the sun so it looks like a six-pointed star. Flowering in early April. Plant height of 10-20 cm.
- Fosteriana
The kind that is easy to breed, a hybrid variety Tulip originating from Central Asia. Flowering around the beginning of April. Plant height of about 25-51 cm. Example: 'Purissima' (white) and 'Sweetheart' (yellow with white on the edge of the petals).

Tulip flowering rather slow.

- Triumph.
This species is a hybrid Single Early results with the types of slow flowering. Ovoid shape of typical Tulip flowers, strong stems and flowers can survive in adverse weather conditions. This type is widely used for cut flowers. Plant height of about 25-41 cm. Flowering in mid-April. This cultivar has a color varied, for example 'Negrita' (purple), 'Kees Nelis' (a mixture of red and yellow),' White Dream '(white),' Prominence '(red),' Cairo '(brown),' Zurel '(a mixture of purple and white),' Gavota '(dark red with yellow fringes). One cultivar there using the name of the city in Indonesia, namely Tulip 'Makassar' yellow.
- Darwin Hybrid.

Flowering tulips slowly.

- Single Late (leaf crown layer, slow flowering)
All cultivars of this species has a long and strong stems. This type is a collection of types such as 'Breeder' 'Darwin' and 'cottages', each of which has been lost due to his trademark hybridization results. Plant height of about 37-76 cm. Flowering in late April. 'Ile-de-France' is a cultivar of this species are flowering faster than other types of flowering early. Example: 'Pink Diamond' (pink) and 'Queen of Night' (purple).
- Double Late (petals layered, slow flowering)
This type of designation Peony Flowered Tulip has since had flowers like peonies. Large flowers with petals layered. This type should be planted in a sheltered place for large-sized flowers can not stand heavy rain and strong winds. Plant height of about 30-41 cm. Flowering in late April.

At first people did not know that the colors are fantastic motifs such as brush strokes are caused by a virus, so that this kind Tulip trading at crazy in the 17th century until the 18th century. Rembrandt tulip original disease is no longer there and replaced types Rembrandt disease-free. Flowering in late April. Cultivars that something like for example: 'Bizarre' and 'Ice Follies.'
- Parrot.
This type of recognizable from petals resemble feathers. Parrot type as much as 99% represents a change from other types of Tulip others. It is said that there is a theory that says petals like this due to the separation of petals are not perfect. Existing types have a strong stem, while species that exist in ancient times had a weak stems. Colors can vary, but in the middle there is a definite crown leaves patches of green. This type is very vulnerable to bad weather and should be planted in a sheltered place. Plant height of about 31-41 cm. Flowering in late April. Example: 'Flaming Parrot' (yellow and red streaks), 'Estella Rijnveld' (a mixture of red and white) and 'Blue Parrot' (dark blue purplish).

Planting techniques.

Tulip can not live in the open tropical areas because it requires low temperatures in winter to grow. Tulips can be forced to bloom more quickly than normal if put in a place where the temperature is set to be higher.
Tulips can be planted in two ways, using bulbs or seeds. Tulips are grown from tubers takes a year to be able to generate enough interest magnitude, while plants grown from seed takes between 5-7 years in order to bloom.
Which has finished blooming flowers should be cut to get the tubers.
According to the results of research that applies only to Tulip interest, if any interest is not blooming flower buds bottom pierced right through with a needle (eg a needle), ethylene gas will be produced by flowers are blooming flower injured so time becomes longer. The same treatment if done to the flowers that had bloomed cause blooming period becomes even shorter.

History.

At first tulips growing wild in Central Asia and West Asia. Turkish Ottoman empire lured to the beauty and perfection of tulips and began to cultivate tulips since 1000. The motifs of tulips have long been widely used in the art of Persian and Turkish ornaments. The name given to a tulip Europeans derived from Persian for turban (Persian: دلبنت, dulband) because when the tulips bloomed yet fully shape looks like a turban.
The types of tulip that has been known since ancient times have stripes, "graffiti brush," or "flares" or having another color in certain parts of the petals, whereas other types of newer have a pattern of different colors on petal. Another touch of color on the base color is due to pigment changes tulip flowers on the top and the bottom of the flower.
Mosaic virus infection brought a kind of insect infestation causes a rare type of tulip with beautiful motifs such as brush strokes are hunted Dutch Tulip mania as fever flowers. Tulip mosaic virus causes the plant to suffer and die slowly, although the interest generated to be very beautiful. Today, the mosaic virus can be said to have been nearly wiped out of the fields of tulips.
In the Ottoman Empire and the Netherlands, the demand for tulips that are not offset adequate supply lead to a phenomenon called Tulip mania. Games tulip prices by speculators also be one reason for the economic decline of the Ottoman Empire.
Netherlands every year sending tulips to be planted in the city of Ottawa as a thank you to the Canadian liberating the Netherlands from Nazi Germany and during the occupation period generously providing a place for living Queen Juliana who at that time was the daughter of the crown.
