Tulips are bulbous monocots, with most species originating in Central Asia. Their cultivation likely began in Persia in the 10th century, and they were introduced to Europe in the 16th century. Tulip flowers typically exhibit parts in multiples of three (three outer and three inner tepals, three pairs of stamens, and an ovary with three locules), which is typical for monocots. Each season, the tulip forms a new bulb, which develops from specialized leaves. The largest collection of tulip cultivars is found in the Keukenhof Gardens in the Netherlands.
