Interesting fact - The name ‘Tulip’ originated from the Persian word ‘delband’ meaning
turban, given the flowers turban shape. Another reason for its association with Turkey is
because locals would often decorate their turbans with tulip stems. Currently tulips are the
third most popular flower in the world, with roses coming in first and chrysanthemums coming
in second. On Valentine’s Day the tulip is the second most gifted flower (after of course the
rose).
