Good question about tulip petal nutrients! i have no idea what they might be, though usually colors are an indication of antioxidants of some kind.

Cultivators are more interested in producing better and more hardy bulbs than inquiring about what the petals have to offer; perhaps some creative researcher (not me! I'm just interested in eating them...) will tackle this as a project.

Thanks for your compliment! Tulips are so beautiful, with so many color variations; I love serving them to my friends & seeing their faces light up with surprise.

To all my subscribers: This is a video that I did a year ago. To the 270 people who watched it, thank you.

For some reason you tube was playing it only at the lowest quality (240p) and I wanted it to have the option of playing it at 360p or 480p. Hopefully it will do so now.This has occurred with several of my other videos too--don't know why...

I wonder what the nutrients are in the red, yellow, and orange petals. Interesting! Thanks.
