Description

Framed by the curved window of an historical home, three beautiful pink tulips catch the late day sunlight. Their colors seem to glow in the warmth of the sunshine.

According to ProFlowers.com: "The tulip originated centuries ago in Persia and Turkey, where it played a significant role in the art and culture of the time. Most likely commenting on the Turkish tradition of wearing tulips in one's turban, Europeans mistakenly gave tulips their name, which comes from the Persian word meaning turban. As Europeans began taking to tulips, the flower's popularity spread quickly, particularly in the Netherlands where a phenomenon dubbed tulip mania set in at one point during the 17th century. Tulips became so highly-prized that prices were sent soaring and markets crashing. Tulips are now grown throughout the world, but people still identify cultivated varieties as "Dutch tulips."

The flower expert.com offers these fun facts about tulips:
" There are now over 3,000 different registered varieties of cultivated Tulips.
Every year billions of Tulips are cultivated, a majority of which are grown and exported from Holland.
Historically, Europe considered Tulips as the symbol of the Ottoman Empire.
Tulips grow wild over a great territory in Asia Minor through Siberia to China.
Tulips were first cultivated and hybridized by the Turks of the Ottoman Empire.
Tulips symbolize imagination, dreaminess, perfect lover and a declaration of love."
