The tulip is the national flower of Iran and Turkey, and tulip motifs feature prominently in Persian and Turkish folk arts. The Tulips have a long and interesting history. Culturally, a gift of tulips communicates a sentiment of “perfect love.” Still, the color of tulips can change that meaning somewhat, so if you’re looking for the perfect bouquet, you’ll want to be mindful of what the various colors mean. Unsurprisingly, red tulips are most closely associated with romantic love. Yellow tulips used to mean unrequited love, but, over the years, they have come to more closely express happiness, sunshine, and warmth. White tulips are often given as an apology to invite forgiveness from a beloved. Finally, multi-color tulips tell your sweetheart that he or she has beautiful eyes.
