Tulips are beautiful!!
I took this photo on a beautiful sunny and breezy spring day while strolling through the park with my kids.The symbolic meaning of Red Tulips: Declaration of Love.
A Turkish legend may be responsible for the red tulip's symbolism. The story goes that a prince named Farhad was love struck by a maiden named Shirin. When Farhad learned that Shirin had been killed, he was so overcome with grief that he killed himself - riding his horse over the edge of a cliff. It's said that a scarlet tulip sprang up from each droplet of his blood, giving the red tulip the meaning "perfect love." Recourse: teleflora
What a tragic story, but such a lovely flower! Great photo!
Yes the story is tragic but flowers are pretty ;-)
