Although tulips are associated with Holland, both the flower and its name originated in the Persian empire. The tulip, or lale (from Persian لاله, lâleh) as it is also called in Turkey, is a flower indigenous to Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan and other parts of Central Asia. It is unclear who first brought the flower to northwest Europe. The most widely accepted story is that of Oghier Ghislain de Busbecq, Ambassador from Ferdinand I to Suleyman the Magnificent of the Ottoman Empire in 1554. He remarks in a letter upon seeing "an abundance of flowers everywhere; Narcissus, hyacinths, and those which in Turkish Lale, much to our astonishment, because it was almost midwinter, a season unfriendly to flowers" (see Busbecq, qtd. in Blunt, 7). In Persian Literature (classic and modern) special attention has been given to these two flowers, in specific likening the beloved eyes to Narges and a glass of wine to Laleh. The word tulip, which earlier in English appeared in such forms as tulipa or tulipant, entered the language by way of French tulipe and its obsolete form tulipan or by way of Modern Latin tulīpa, from Ottoman Turkish tülbend, "muslin, gauze". (The English word turban, first recorded in English in the 16th century, can also be traced to Ottoman Turkish tülbend.)

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo !!!!!
Tulips come from Turkey 16th century ;-) ;-)
In 1600 tulips were worth more than gold here.
And in WW-II tulips bulbs were eaten by people in order not to die from hunger.
Dank je wel mijn vriend

The face of Harry Goldhoorn is grateful and smiled at your remark taht we have tulips in Holland hahahahahahah.
Close friends feel, just like a dog that knows his sailing boss is retuning home. Animals have that 6th sense in a better way.
Each person on earth is in contact with the other, as well as plants, animals, God. But we live in a world full of loud noise and bright light, thus 'normal' people forget to listen to the whispers in the silence, telling us the way.
God bless you.

Dear Saad. In fact, the last three pictures, in my view, often crowded composition.
