The pink tulip has forever remained a symbol of the birth of real feelings. Nowadays, it is customary to give a bouquet of rosebuds unopened. Many still believe that as flowers bloom, innocent feelings acquire the “taste” of burning true love and the couple’s relationship only becomes stronger, and obstacles can be overcome.

Many mistakenly believe that tulips first appeared in Holland. Actually, it is not. The homeland of these flowers is the western part of the Mediterranean and part of Central Asia (Pakistan, Afghanistan and Turkey). Some types of tulips grew wild in North Africa, Southern Europe and Japan.

This flower came to Europe in 1554. In Augsburg (Germany), the ambassador to the Turkish court, Busbeck, sent bulbs. He saw a beautiful flower during one of his trips around the country.

There is an interesting theory regarding the origin of the name of the flower. In 1562, the first large shipment of Turkish tulips reached Antwerp, which at the time was part of Dutch territory. Soon the supply of bulbs was put on stream. Gardeners from Europe saw similarities between the shape of the flower and the Turkish headdress. They started calling the flower "Tulipan", from "tuilbend", the Turkish word for turban. So the name of this beautiful flower appeared.
