The Nanjing Botanical Garden, Memorial Sun Yat-Sen, located in east China’s Jiangsu Province, attracted numerous visitors on Thursday, as twin tulips blossomed to create a rare scene.

According to experts, the twin tulip is probably a result of natural genetic mutation. Such a phenomenon is also seen in plants like lotuses and roses.
