Camels or P-horses?

DC, I was thinking while I was away from my computer that maybe I ought to have already pointed out that camel is partly correct. By the time I came back to say so it was guessed. Lookie though here is somewhat an example of what EW was talking about: Chess on fine glass stools...

Class: Mammalia (Mammals)
Order: Artiodactyla
Family: Giraffidae
Genus: Giraffa
Species: camelopardalis

I am not much clearer on the differentiations of classifications yet

You know they used to be called cameleopards, when people thought they looked like a cross between the two.
 
Camel  x  leopard.
 
I digress.

There's a huge difference between boats and tulips. May I inquire as to how
you arrived at either as a guess? I want to know how that mind of yours operates

I am not sure how my mind works, hehe. I see Princess Juliana and I think Holland and think tulips and know they have inspired intrigue although I havent read in depth at all about it. I recently heard somewhere there is a book/movie about it.

Saadi appears to be Persian maybe? A poet? Lady separate from Princess Juliana sounds like her, or another upper-class woman, adding to the sense of some sort of tryst or passionate political/romantic occurrence? It triggers images of big white boats-- 109 kind of sounds nautical?

Status: offline 		I've just returned from the inner workings of your mind, and what a journey it was!!!
Your explanation of your guesses is lovely...you seem such the romantic!
 
109 is the number of tulip species.
Lady is on of its classifications
Saadi wrote a famous poem about them.
Princess Juliana, in 1946, sent Canada 20,000 tulip bulbs as a thank you for giving her refuge.
Neat Story about that here
It also happens to be my favorite flower
 
So....Tulips is the answer, and you are now on a 3 win roll!
Im only sad it didnt take long enough guessing for me to throw in some of my infamous rapping,
or my Tulip joke that I was going to use an additional clue!
