Today I learned that Tulips continue to grow even after being cut and when put in a vase with water as part of a floral bouquet. This is due to their cell size growth, which happens as part of the plant absorbing water. Tulips are able to massively grow their cells which causes them to grow much more and bigger than other plants in a typical floral bouquet.

I came across that as part of spending my evening watching some random “Wissen macht Ah!” shows. “Wissen macht Ah!” is another German TV series for children that provides a lovely amount of every day knowledge.
