Tulips are spring- blooming perennials taht grow from bulbs. Depending on the species, tulip plants can be between 4 inches and 28 inches. The word tulip, first mentioned in western europe around  1554 and seemingly derived from the “Turkish Letters” of diplomat Ogier Ghiselin de Busbecq.

Tulips are called Laleh in Persian, Turkish, and Arabic. In Arabic letters Laleh is written with the same letters as Allah, which is why the flower become a holy symbol. That’s why in the tiles, mosque, fabrics etc appeared lots of motifs of tulips. But tulips is famous a Netherland’s national flower. Because in Netherlands we can find lots of tulips and also lots of the variant J
