Declaration of love
The word tulip derives from greek "turban", that is turban. Every oriental garden is full of tulips and in April it's celebrated the tulip's festival, in Constantinople. A turkish legend imputes its origin to the blood drops poured by a disappointed lover. Tulip means perfect love in east. In the West, the bulbs arrived around 1500, thanks to austrian ambassador at Constantinople, that brought a big quantity of these at Vienna. The european country where tuplips had greater success is Holland; In France, one bulb can be the dowry of a girl. Tulip in the West symbolizes the first love; In art and poetry it represents honesty, inconstancy and perfect love. These are not contradictions because just during love the frames of mind can undergo variations.
