Yes, I believe they are.



My wife's maiden name was Poppe, they have tons of pictures and paintings around the house.

Afganistans largest cash crop also... or at least till the US showed up. I do not know today.

Man was I wrong! I would not have even guessed Afganistan had Tulips!

Ok, so why Tulips? (guess the shape of the flower should have given it away)

I would have thought poppies too but they do look like tulips.

Afghanis love roses... almost a status thing (not unlike for some gardeners in the US). They also really dig Tulips...of course, they are annuals, so not as prominent (requires less care).

They also grow a lot of weed. Many of the Afghani Police "stations" have the stuff growing like weeds around their compounds... no kidding. You see little plants popping all over the place, like clover. Hilarious.
