You must have seen mind-blowing, colorful blooms of tulips in several movies. Tulip is the world’s third most popular flower after rose and chrysanthemum. It is a cup-shaped, bright colored, elegant flower, with a smooth, green stem. Tulips have been cultivated for about 500 years. They have their origin from Central and Western Asia. Tulips were brought to Turkey by the nomadic tribes. During the late 16th century, a European ambassador visited the Turkish Ottoman Empire. He was gifted with tulip bulbs and seeds. He gave some seeds to the Roman emperor Ferdinand I and remaining seeds and bulbs to a botanist, Carolus Clusius, employed by the Roman Emperor. Tulips were introduced in Holland, when Carolus Clusius was appointed as the professor of Botany at Leiden University. Since then, Holland has dominated the world tulip market. Now you must be very eager to know more about these magnificent flowers. Read on to get some interesting facts about tulips.
