The legend of tulips
In ancient Europe, there was a beautiful girl who was admired and pursued by three handsome knights. One gave her a crown, one gave her a sword, and the other gave her gold. The girl is worried and doesn't know how to choose. Because those three men were so excellent, she had to ask the flower god for help. The flower god turned her into a tulip, a crown into a bud, a sword into a leaf and gold into a bulb. In this way, she accepted the love of three knights at the same time, and tulips became the embodiment of love.
Because the crown represents an extremely noble position, and the sword is a symbol of power, owning gold means owning wealth, so in ancient Europe, only nobles and celebrities were qualified to grow tulips. In European and American novels and poems, tulips are also regarded as a symbol of victory and beauty, and can also represent elegance and nobility.
