Did you know?
Tulips are among the most recognizable and beloved spring flowers, native to Central Asia but now cultivated worldwide. Symbolizing perfect love and elegance in floral language, they became a cultural phenomenon during the Dutch Golden Age, when rare color variations sparked the economic phenomenon known as 'tulip mania' in the 1630s. Today, tulips remain a staple of spring gardens and cut-flower arrangements, prized for their bold, cup-shaped petals and vibrant color range spanning reds, yellows, pinks, purples, and whites. Their clean lines and architectural form make them enduring subjects in decorative arts and needlework.
