Tulip seeds?
This is what I found, Hope it helps





Tulip flowers have tulip seeds within the seed pod. You can harvest a seed from a pollinated tulip flower pod and plant it. Just be prepared to wait a long time for a flower to grow. A number of gardening sources say that it can take five-to-seven years before a tulip plant from seed will form a flower. That is different from a tulip bulb, which will produce a tulip plant and flower the very next year. When planted and nurtured in right soil, of course.





A seed can be as tiny as a poppy seed or as large as a peach pit.
Reply:One of the reasons tulip bulbs can be very costly is that the growers have taken them through the initial lengthy growth period. They've chosen the best cultivars and divided the bulbs to sell them to us. With seed, you never know whether it will be a hardy or attractive strain.
