World famous tulip bulbs

Of all bulbs, the tulip is the best known. Tulip bulbs are widely traded and even play a role in Dutch history. The plant was introduced in the Golden Age in our country. The word "tulip" comes from Turkish, it is derived from tülbend, meaning "turban". The typical shape of the tulip is of course the reason for this name. The ordinary Turkish word for "tulip" is lale.

To us, “tulip” is a normal word, without extra connotation. Not so in Turkish! The word lale had a special appeal, because with a little imagination, its sound resembles the word Allah. In Turkish mosques you will thus find many pictures of tulips. Picturing God is forbidden in Islam, but of course, there is nothing wrong with a tulip. There is even a famous mosque in Istanbul that is called Tulip Mosque!
