🌷 TULIP MANIA 🌷 - The yellow tulip and one time symbolized being hopelessly in love but has transitioned and now embodies cheerful thoughts and sunshine. The popular variegated tulip symbolize beautiful eyes. It is said the velvet black center of the tulip represents a lover’s heart.

 

Tulips symbolize flawless love. The meaning comes from a Turkish legend of a Princess and commoner who fall in love, and of course as these stories usually go, her father, the king, does not approve and demands the commoner prove his love and worthiness by building an enormous canal. It takes him several years to complete and when he is digging the final touches to the canal the king lies to him and says the princess has passed. The man is so distraught he takes his own life. The princess learns of this tragedy and goes to the canal where her love to his life and takes her own to be with him. Red tulips began to grow where their blood soaked the ground.

 

We often refer to tulips as “Dutch Tulips” but they actually derive from Persia and Turkey. The word tulip actually translates to turban. The flowers were worn in turbans Europeans by mistake called the flowers tulips (turbans).

 

Did you know this delightful bulb was once the cause of what economist say was the first economic bubble in Holland? The tulips were so desired they were bought at prices 10 times their worth! Then soon the market was flooded with them and they were no longer sought out as passionately and the prices bottomed out and there was a market crash of sorts.

 

☯️ Symmetry is another manifestation of the balance of Yin and Yang, of the unimpeded flow of ch'i.
