The Legends of Tulips
It is said that in ancient Europe, a girl was courted by three knights. Each knight gave her different gifts: one gave a crown, one gave a sword, and one gave gold. The girl was torn because all three knights were outstanding. She sought the help of the flower god, who turned her into a tulip, with the crown becoming the flower bud, the sword becoming the leaves, and the gold becoming the bulb, thus accepting the love of all three knights simultaneously. Therefore, tulips have also become the embodiment of love.
There is another legend about purple tulips. It is said that originally, tulips were only white, representing pride and purity, but also loneliness as a result. Two small tulips left their family to see other colors and encountered a prince with deep purple eyes, whereupon they realized that purple was the most beautiful color in the world. The prince later fell in love with a beautiful princess, but in an accident, his sword pierced her body. The prince, holding the princess in pain, had tears and blood溅 onto these two tulips, and thus, purple tulips appeared in the world.
