Elegance
The Tulip was actually originally a wildflower growing in Central Asia and was first cultivated by the Turks as early as 1000 AD. Elegant and perfectly symmetrical, the Tulip was the most coveted flower in Europe in the early 17th century. In fact at the peak of the "Tulip mania", the flowers were worth more than diamonds. Today there are over 150 species of tulips and a total of 3000 varieties.
