I don't remember how many tulips we must have prevented from flowering in our childhood. Tulipa stellata is one of the commonest flowering plants in Kashmir valley in spring. We used to dig out bulbs of young plants, whose leaves had such emerged from ground. I don't remember any thing more tastier and sweeter than these bulbs. Luckily there numbers were so large that our adventure would not have made much difference to their abundance. It is a sight to see these tulips flowering in spring in meadows.
