Different types of tulips

Tulips are gorgeous flowers, especially when they are in full bloom. They have a simple shape, and come in various colors, from red, yellow, white, purple, and striped. That's why this flower is often a symbol of beauty and affection. Usually, people immediately think of the Netherlands when talking about tulips, even though this flower originates from Turkey and Central Asia. In the past, tulips were super expensive flowers in the Netherlands, to the point that there was a period called "Tulip Mania." The price of one tulip seed could be equal to a house! Crazy, right? But now, tulips are easier to get and are one of the favorite flowers for decorating homes, gardens, or special events.

Planting tulips is also not too complicated, as long as the place is cool enough. This flower grows from bulbs and is usually planted in the fall so that it can bloom in the spring. If planted in a hot place, it usually doesn't grow well. That's why not all areas are suitable for planting tulips. Besides being beautiful, tulips also have a deep meaning. Red usually symbolizes true love, white for an apology, yellow which was once considered a symbol of rejection is now more often associated with happiness, and purple for luxury or royalty. So, if you want to give someone a tulip, it's better to choose the right color so that the message gets through.
