Did you know?
Tulips are spring bulbs native to Central Asia, though they became most celebrated in 17th-century Holland during the famous "Tulip Mania" when rare varieties commanded extraordinary prices. The flower's elegant cup shape and vivid reds, like this design's bold palette, made them symbols of wealth and refinement across Europe. Today, tulips remain one of the world's most popular ornamental flowers, prized for their clean lines, long vase life, and stunning color range from deep crimsons to soft pastels.
