The tulip is a beautiful flower that blooms in many wonderful colors, most often during early spring. Yellow tulips are my personal favorite! Their iconic bulbs reflect their uniqueness and have a resemblance to turbans, which is how they got their name – “debland” means turban in the Persian language.
They are easy to grow, you simply plant them during the fall season and their blossoms will bloom in spring. You can pick and choose from many different shapes and sizes as there are over 100 species of tulip.
The tulip symbolizes love and deep faith, and they are often given as gifts to someone special. Did you know that around 1.5 million tourists visit the tulip fields in The Netherlands every year? People say these fields are some of the most breathtaking things they’ve ever seen!
These tulip captions and quotes will really help you understand just how incredible these wonderful flowers are.
