Mothersday
Today is Mothers Day.....on my way to have lunch with my family it was lovely to see people carrying flowers , mostly bouquets bought from supermarkets, still our city looked beautiful with all the colourful flowers,In europe you see more flowers on the street than here.maybe we are not that much connected to flowers.

The language of flowers
Today we will talk about Tulips
Wild tulips are native to Persia & Turkey
In Persia to give a red Tulip was to declare your love.
1593 a botanist named Carlos Clusius arrived in Holland with his collections of bulbs from Turkey & Persia_the Tulip. THe word tulip is coming from the Turkish word for turban (tuelbent),so called because of the shape of its bloom.I Holland the tulip was a sensation and become very popular.
To give a yellow tulip is to declare your love hopelessly and utterly.
