A collection of remarkable facts about tulips
There are tulips that have more than one flower per stem
Although the classical image of the tulip most of us picture is a single flower crowning the top of the stem, it is not uncommon for tulips to produce more than one flower on the same stem.
Such tulips are called multi-headed or bouquet-flowering tulips and although they do have a single main stem growing from the bulb, this main stem branches out into several smaller secondary stems, each producing a blossom. This way one single tulip stalk may work as a bouquet on its own, featuring a cluster of 3 to 6 full-sized flowers blooming at once.
