Did you know?
Tulips originated in Central Asia and were cultivated extensively in Ottoman gardens before becoming iconic symbols of Dutch horticulture in the 17th century. The tulip's cup-shaped bloom and upright growth habit make it one of the most recognizable spring flowers; its smooth petals and bold color—whether this coral-red or other hues—have made it a favorite subject in fine art and decorative needlework for centuries. Tulips represent perfect love and are often associated with renewal and the arrival of warmer seasons.
