Tulips
Common Name: Dutch Tulip, Holland Tulips
Description: A cup shaped blossom with with six petals, varying from slender and pointed to broadly rounded. 1 flower per stem, 12-18 inches long, with one or two long leaves. Fragrance: None to mild Facts: Introduced to Europe mid-16th century by the Ottoman Empire. The tulip experienced a strong growth in popularity in the United Provinces (now the Netherlands), boosted by competition between members of the upper classes for possession of the rarest breeds. Competition escalated until prices reached very high levels and the flower rapidly became a coveted luxury item and a status symbol. Special breeds were given exotic names or named after Dutch naval admirals. The most spectacular and highly sought-after tulips had vivid colors, lines, and flames on the petals as a result of being infected with a tulip-specific virus known as the Tulip Breaking Potyvirus. Meaning: Like the rose, colors of tulips have different meanings. Red means declaration of love. Yellow means hopeless love, sunshine in your smile. General means perfect lover, frame, and beautiful eyes. |
