Tulips in Culture

Tulips have a long history in culture, dating back to ancient Persia. The Turks then introduced them to Europe in the 16th century, where they quickly gained popularity. Tulips were highly prized in the 17th century in Holland, where they even gave rise to a true speculative mania, known as "tulip mania". Today, tulips are mainly associated with Holland and Dutch culture, but they are also grown in many other countries.
