Infact i took the pictures with great passion , when i ask them to say cheese they smiled with the help of gentle breeze. Nice opportunity to be with small little flowers which made my day . My quest in search in meaning of this flowers started now and here we go the first one i found in proflowers.com . Quiet interesting and good . Meanings of Tulips : The is one of the world's most easily recognized and loved flowers. The meanings of tulips coupled with the immediately identifiable shape of their colorful blooms make them a comfortable flower choice. They are not too elegant, too romantic, too big, too small, or too bright; the tulip is always just right. They are like a favorite pair of jeans or your mom's fresh-baked cookies in that the meanings of tulips express genuine coziness and comfort in all of the right ways.
The tulip originated over ten decades ago in Persia and Turkey, where it played a significant role in the art and culture of the time. Most likely commenting on the Turkish tradition of wearing tulips in one's turban, Europeans mistakenly gave tulips their name, which comes from the Persian word meaning turban. As Europeans began admiring tulips, the flower's popularity spread quickly, particularly in the Netherlands where a phenomenon dubbed tulip mania set in at one point during the 17th century. Tulips became so highly-prized that prices were sent soaring and markets crashing. Tulips are now grown throughout the world, but people still identify cultivated varieties as "Dutch tulips." The meaning of tulips is generally perfect love. Like many flowers, different colors of tulips also often carry their own significance. Red tulips are most strongly associated with true love, while purple symbolizes royalty. The meaning of yellow tulips has evolved somewhat, from once representing hopeless love to now being a common expression for cheerful thoughts and sunshine. White tulips are used to claim worthiness or to send a message of forgiveness. Variegated tulips, once among the most popular varieties due to their striking color patterns, represent beautiful eyes. With all of the sentiments and meanings of tulips, it's not surprising that their popularity continues to endure. The wide range of colors and varieties available allows them to be used for many occasions. In addition to being a favorite for cut flower arrangements, tulips can also be given as a potted plant. The growing and caring for of tulip bulb gardens and plants is a rewarding pastime for many flower lovers. As one of the world's most beloved flowers, a gift of tulips is a sure delight, enchanting in its beauty and simplicity.So see you all Tulips next year at Keuenhoff Tulip festival one of my favourite destination of the world. http://www.keukenhof.nl/nm/english.html.
May this spring and tulips bring in the finest moments out of our life this year . Thanks to many who made this happen . Good luck Tulips! "I wandered lonely as a cloud.. that floats on high o'er vales and hills, when all at once I saw a crowd, a host, of golden daffodils" - William Wordsworth. I might be the happiest person if Wordsworth mentioned tulips instead of daffodils.. Infact all the flowers are soothing but I prefer nice little tulips cuz its just right and perfect...
cheers!
