Tulips and Their Role in
Different Cultures
Executive Summary about Tulip
World by William Berg
Tulips have
been, and are still, being admired by people in many different regions and
cultures. Wild Tulips are found in Europe, Africa and Asia.
The Tulip
has always been held in high esteem by the Middle East cultures and the
European name "Tulip" is actually derived from the Persian word for
turban. Some etymologists claim that the name was selected since a budding Tulip resembles a traditional turban, while other
etymologists suggests that the term is instead the result of a misunderstanding
- Tulip flowers were commonly used to decorate the folds of the turban.
Today, the
Tulip is the national flower of Iran as well as of Turkey and the tulip is
even suggested on the Iran flag. If you look at traditional Persian and Turkish
folk art you will clearly see how important the Tulip motif is and have been.
The Netherlands in Europe is another country strongly linked to the Tulip, and
the Netherlands will for instance send Tulips to the Canadian capital Ottawa
each year.
Historians
do not now exactly when and how the Tulip was introduced to Western Europe for
the first time, and perhaps Tulips were brought to this part of the world
several times before the flower really became appreciated and famous.
Tulips Are an Attractive
Flower That Have an Elaborate History
Executive Summary about Tulip World by Brober Jhon
Today there
are a truly vast number of different kinds of flowers throughout this planet,
but one thing is for sure: when one thinks of attractive petals, few other
flowers look any where near as lively as tulips.
Even though
they are found in many parts of the Asian continent, this species is
conceivably best known as a blossom from Turkey. In reality, their name was
from the term for turban, a well known head dress worn in the Arabic world.
Today, tulips are thought of as being from the country of Holland where they
are grown in great amounts each year.
The tulip
indicates creativity and a positive attitude. It is a blossom which is
energizing to folks because of the vibrant colors and, also, the tulip comes in a huge
rainbow of alternate colors. This has brought a lot to the tulip being
perceived as a blossom of dreams and positive feelings. Some folks also think
that the tulip represents pure love, specifically if it is crimson because in
an older fable, a man who loved a woman so much killed himself and it's said
that these initial scarlet tulips grew from his blood drops when he rode away
on a horse, pining for the woman of his fantasies. In this way, tulips are told
to be representative of ideal love.
