Use and history

The tulip is the national flower of Iran and Turkey, and tulip motifs feature prominently in Persian and Turkish folk arts. The European name for the flower is a misuse of the Persian word for turban, a mistake probably originating in the common Turkish custom of wearing flowers in the folds of the turban. Or because this eastern flower resembled a turban when not in full bloom.

Unofficially, the flower is also emblematic of Netherlands. For instance, in an annual gesture of gratitude to Canada for liberating the nation from Nazi German tyranny in World War II, a supply of tulips is sent to be planted in Canada's national capital in Ottawa...
Eek Amazing! InLove And BEAUTIFUL!

Thank you dear Inda for this Tulip thread, beautiful and interesting.

I ADORE TULIPS ... and right now I still have the white tulips I bought for Easter in a vase in my living room. They are pure beauty.

A pity I did not take a picture while they were at their best together with lovely yellow flowers the name of which I only know in Italian "Ranuncoli".

here are the Ranuncoli


imagine them together with white tulips
something like this ... yellow and white tulips ... yellow and white are the colors of the Pope



white beauties ...

I am dreaming of this as well Sue.

Margherita, those rare tulips are exquisite.
I have never seen them in any garden.

Right now I will be delighted to see any tulip in bloom. At the moment we have only the leaves which do promise that blossoming spring will come.



Love,
yoko

Tulips are all out and blooming in all kinds of colors and varieties. They don't last very long, enjoy them while you can.

You are right yoko,

tulips don't last very long. It has turned quite hot here as well, and I am sure that when I return from my trip they will all be gone, so I will enjoy them while they are in bloom.

Love, Inda

Tulips are coming up already. We have had unusually warm weather this year. It feels almost like summer.

Thank you yoko,

your picture is really beautiful.
We have tulips coming up, but it has suddenly turned colder, so I hope that it will not cause harm to the flowers. They are quite tough, so hopefully all will be fine.

love,
Vicky 2Hearts

All beautiful, but none alike.
