The prolific tulip fields of Holland originated out of the tulips brought there from the Ottoman Empire (present-day Turkey) sometime in the late 16th century. There is a Turkish legend with different variations about a prince named Farhad and a princess Shirin. It is believed that Farhad killed himself upon hearing the fake news of the sudden demise of the princess and tulips bloomed from his blood.

  In my Richard Burton’s voice…. Rumors of your demise Şirin were greatly exaggerated but alas, remember me in the Spring when the tulip bloom. 🌷😘 ❤

    Great artwork! The beauty of the tulips is certainly enhanced by the history they helped shape.
