Etymology

The word 'tulip' originates from the Persian word 'dulband', meaning 'turban', which references the flower's shape resembling that of a turban. The tulip was introduced to Europe in the 16th century from the Ottoman Empire, where it had profound cultural significance. In the Netherlands, tulips became a symbol of wealth and status, leading to a period known as 'tulip mania' during the 1630s, when prices for certain tulip bulbs soared dramatically. This flower subsequently became a staple of European gardens and has remained a popular choice for ornamental planting and floral designs ever since.
