What’s your favorite flower? If you happened to say tulips, you’re in luck. Did you know that there are 150 species of tulips? While they come in a variety of different colors, most are bold, cheerful, and bright. The tulip (which makes an excellent baby name, BTW) has a level of mystery to it, as it only blooms between three and seven days during the spring. Thus, seeing a tulip at this stage is a rare yet beautiful moment.

As luck would have it, we’ve got the tulip coloring pages to prove it!

If you’re looking forward to these lovely flowers come spring, you’ll appreciate our tulip coloring pages. And for all of the flower enthusiasts out there, you can complete your paper bouquet with our coloring pages blooming with roses and other flowers.
