MELUA IN FLOWER HONOUR

British pop star KATIE MELUA has been honoured in the Netherlands where botanists have named a tulip after her.

The NINE MILLION BICYCLES singer was delighted to hear her distinctive voice had inspired the flower's name.

She says, "It is quite unexpected but really flattering."

Jan Huibert who helped cultivate the Tulipa Katie Melua, says, "Katie Melua is a beautiful woman with a wonderful character and an exceptional voice."

"The people of the Netherlands love her and it was a very natural choice to honour her by naming this tulip after her."

Katie Melua performs at the first of two sold out concerts held at
the Heineken Music Hall Holland, Amsterdam - 21.02.06
