Taxonomy

In horticulture often used synonymously with Tulipa humilis.

Cultivation

It was introduced to Europe in the early 19th century, where a small number of cultivars are grown as ornamental plants in gardens. It is one of the few species with a considerable number of cultivars. These include 'Persian Pearl' (purple inside, red outside), 'Eastern Star' (magenta with yellow base), and 'Obalisque' (red inside, purple out). Varieties include var. violacea (purple with black base).

gollark: C is an actual language.

gollark: I think the more powerful ones can run stuff like stripped-down Node.js or MicroPython.

gollark: You use C for those mostly.

gollark: It would probably have a microcontroller in it, and those typically run C.

gollark: There's probably some way to rewrite them as a bunch of equations, say, then solve those - you know the amount of X atom/ion on the left is equal to the amount on the right, and you know the amount on the left is equal to (moles of reactant A * 3 + moles of reactant B * 2) and so on.
