Tulip
A Tulip is a vegetation plant that produces bulbs and seeds that was introduced in version 1.6.
Appearance
A young tulip is a small green stem with a shorter stem next to it. When fully mature, the tulip is still a somewhat short stem with two alternating leaves and at the top is a small flowering head that can be red, yellow, blue, or white and typically will grow one block high. There are also hybrids colors which are combination of two colors (any of the four colors available) together. It is still unknown how the "breeding" works and if it matters using the seed or the flower itself and if it matters how close they are planted to each other.
Where Found
Tulips can be found growing in nearly all warm regions.
Farming
Tulips are primarily used for the production and farming of tulip bulbs. Tulip bulbs and seeds can be planted in a block of dirt, sand, black sand, or compost to produce additional tulips and yielding more tulip products. Harvesting for tulip products is achieved by hand or using a machete or spade on a mature tulip. Using a tool will approximately double the yield results than if hands were used. If a mature tulip goes unharvested, the plant will turn into a young tulip to begin a new life cycle.
Trivia
Currently, there are around 75 wild species of tulips and 150 species in total with over 3000 varieties.
