Tulipa urumiensis - tardy tulip by Diana Everett
Tulipa urumiensis is a dwarf tulip native to Central Asia. Flowering in early spring, it is a symbol of renewal, resilience, and the changing seasons. Tulips have long held deep cultural significance, particularly in Persian and Ottoman tradi-tions, where they were seen as emblems of love, abundance, and paradise. In folklore, tulips are often linked to love and devotion. A Persian legend tells of a prince whose love was unfulfilled, and from each drop of his tears, a tulip sprang forth - forever tying the flower to passion and longing.
