Even though it's still chilly in New York, spring has technically sprung! With the start of the season comes the arrival of fragrant and colorful flowers, like the tulip. This archival image, from the Museum's library, shows tulips in the flowerbeds at the 77th Street facade. This vibrant blossom is a member of the Liliaceae family, which also includes lilies. The tulip is a bulbiferous plant, meaning its organs are stored within a bulb underground, from which the main stem and flower emerges. The tulip was first cultivated in Persia, but today, it’s widely grown for its pop of color and can be spotted around the world.
