I’m Tulip, of course. Unmistakably, a firm favourite around the world & loved for my rainbow of eye-catching colourful blooms!
Nomads brought me to Turkey, where many sultans began wearing my flower on their turban – in fact, the word tulip is thought to derive from the Persian word for turban.
Back in the 16th Century, giving tulips to someone was a way of giving them fortune, so I became a status symbol of the newly wealthy merchants of the Dutch Golden Age.
I’m an easy to manage flower & a quick way to add colour to your garden or windowsill – but catch me if you can as my flowers are only in season typically in April & May.
My AromaSpace was captured in early spring in Holland.
My scent simple but surprising. Green & stemmy, often with subtle fruity floral tones.
