Description

A macro capture of the inside of a pink tulip. I have added a texture to give the photo a painterly look. Flowers are a beautiful way to convey unspoken meaning. Tulips are a spring favorite and are ranked as the third most loved flower worldwide. Originating from Persia and Turkey over a thousand years ago, tulips were associated with true love. But over the years, the beautiful hues of this flower have come to evoke many meanings. Cream pink is the color for May and I think a tulip in cream pink is absolutely lovely.
While tulips were derived from Persia and Turkey, Europe took quite a love to them when first introduced in the 17th century. It resulted in the 1630s �Tulipmania,� when the bulbs themselves were traded much like currency. The Netherlands especially took a love to tulips and is now thought of with these beloved flowers.
Over the centuries, flowers have taken on unspoken meaning, with tulips typically being associated with fame and perfect love. Each tulip hue carries its own symbolism.
Pink tulips symbolize happiness, confidence and caring. They can convey a message of encouragement to someone. Unlike red tulips, pink tulips indicate caring and significantly less romantic meaning. This makes them an especially good choice for new couples.
