Tulips
Tulips are an herbaceous perennial that use their bulbs as storage organs. Their flowers are large, showy, and often bloom in very bright colors such as pink, yellow, white, or shades of red. Sometimes there is a different color at the base of the flower that plumes up into the petal in streaks.
Tulips are a part of the lily family. They were originally found in Europe and central Asia, where they grew wild in the Tien Shan Mountains. Cultivation in Istanbul began in 1055 and was so popular it became the symbol of the Ottomans.
However, it’s possible that Tulips were cultivated in Persia even earlier than this, but the mania for tulips didn’t occur until the 16th century. By then, they became widely associated with the Netherlands, since many of the Dutch Golden Age paintings depicted the flowers. Today there are thousands of cultivars and hybrids that can be found all across the globe.
