Time for tulips<\/span><\/h1>[vc_column_text]Tulipa\r\n<\/em><\/strong>Did you know that there’s a real story behind the name, ‘tulip’? ‘Tulip’ comes from the Latin word, tulipa<\/em>, which means ‘the flower that looks like a turban’. Originally, tulips came from Turkey where they were cultivated and traded during the Middle Ages. At that time, it was the custom for men in Turkey to wear a turban. An apt name for this flower, don’t you think?\r\n\r\nPractically unaffordable\r\n<\/strong>From 1634 to 1637, the Netherlands was under the spell of ‘tulip mania’. During this period, tulips bulbs were expensive, and not just on the pricey side. They were practically unaffordable. Only the very rich could buy tulip bulbs. The flamed and striped kinds were especially favored. A tulip bulb seemed like a good investment because it was worth so much. Many people thought they could turn a profit on tulip bulbs so they gambled all their possessions on buying a single one. What they actually received for their money was a proof of ownership for that bulb because the bulb itself was apparently growing in a field somewhere. So to make a profit (and hopefully a big one), this proof of ownership would be sold to someone else. The prices for such a proof of ownership was almost unbelievably high: for that money, you could buy a mansion on one of Amsterdam’s canals. As it turned out, many of these documents were false, so these profit-seekers lost everything.\r\n\r\nFrom bulb to flower<\/strong>\r\nWhat has to happen, exactly, before a tulip bulb can produce a flower? Tulip growers are experts in this area. At a tulip grower’s nursery, the tulip bulbs are planted in trays. These trays are placed in a special cold store, as the flower bulb need this to grow and produce a flower. After a certain period in the cold,\u00a0 they are taken to a nice warm greenhouse. As soon as the tulip bulbs feel the heat, they produce a stem with leaves. Three weeks later, the flower buds appear. This is when the tulips are mature enough to be harvested.\r\n\r\nShapes and colors\r\n<\/strong>No matter what their color, tulips will brighten up your home during the cold winter months. Because plant breeders have succeeded so well in crossing tulips over the centuries, you now have an extremely wide choice in flower colors and flower shapes. There are single-flowered, double-flowered, lily-flowered and fringed tulips \u2013 and these are just some of them. Did you know that tulips in certain colors even have a special meaning?\r\n
    \r\n \t
  • Red tulip:<\/em> perfect love<\/li>\r\n \t
  • Yellow tulip<\/em>: happiness<\/li>\r\n \t
  • White tulip<\/em>: forgiveness<\/li>\r\n \t
  • Mixed bunch of tulips<\/em>: elegance<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nCaring for tulips\r\n<\/strong>Needless to say, you’ll want to enjoy your tulips as long as possible. But what is the best way to care for your bouquet of tulips? Trim off a small piece of the stems of your tulips at an angle. The leaves can remain attached to the stem since they will not decay in the water. Arrange the tulips in a clean vase filled with tap water at room temperature. Choose a location for your tulips that is not too warm and is far away from the fruit bowl. After a few days, you will notice how the tulips have continued to grow in the vase. As soon as they bloom, you will have a natural work of art.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content_no_spaces” column_spacing=”0px”][vc_column]
