About this subject

Tulips are bulbous flowers native to Central Asia, but it was in the Netherlands that they became a cultural and economic icon. During the 17th century, the so-called “Tulip Mania” led to financial speculation with bulbs, considered luxury items. Today, tulips are cultivated in many countries and available in a wide range of colors, each with its own meaning: red for true love, pink for affection, yellow for joy, purple for royalty, white for peace. A vase with mixed color tulips, like the one depicted, represents a vibrant arrangement celebrating diversity and harmony. In floristry, this type of bouquet is popular for weddings, birthdays, and as a centerpiece, as the upright form and symmetrical petals create a sophisticated look. To keep tulips fresh longer, it is recommended to cut stems diagonally and change water daily. Fun fact: tulips continue to grow even after being cut, often bending toward light, a phenomenon known as phototropism.
