Red tulips

Similar to red roses, red tulips are associated with love and passion. Elegant and romantic, the red tulip is the perfect flower to show irresistible love. Red tulips hold a historical significance. A Turkish prince named Farad was love struck by a maiden named Shirin. When he learnt about Shirin s death, he was so overcome with grief that he killed himself by riding his horse over the edge of a cliff. It is believed that the red tulips sprang from each droplets of his blood. Thus red tulips stand for pure love.
