What does TULIP mean in Scrabble?
noun
A bulbous plant of the lily family that produces a single, brightly colored cup-shaped flower on a tall stem in spring.
A tulip grows from a bulb planted the previous autumn, sending up a single stem topped by one showy flower in shades of red, yellow, pink, or purple. The plant became famous in seventeenth-century Holland during a period now called tulip mania, when prices for rare bulbs briefly reached extraordinary heights before collapsing. Tulip fields remain a major tourist draw in the Netherlands today, and the flower has become closely associated with the country even though it originally came from Central Asia.
