Tulip festival in istanbul - Tip: April is the best time to come, even Darth knows it!

And fun fact: Tulip is native to Anatolia ( actually, the nomad Turks brought it from Asia ), then brought into Europe during the Ottoman time; But I guess many people would first think of the Netherlands when it comes to Tulip, maybe due to more commercialization or marketing there...but Turk's love for Tulips is uncomparable, you can easily see it in all kinds of arts and crafts, e.g. I learned drawing this Tulip Ebru last year:

also made this bag with a master last year, and then I realized that there is actually no blue tulip in nature, but why?

also this horn brush, decorated with mother of pearl with tulip shape:

thanks for seeing my personal collections - crafting your life with beauties ( I want everything I own with meanings, unique, and long lasting ) and do you know the meaning of tulip? 🤓🌷

I find tulips to be incredibly beautiful, and I LOVE the wide variety of colors they come in. The only thing I know about tulips is the Dutch tulip mania. The Dutch tulip bubble was an economic-financial episode that occurred in the Netherlands in the 17th century. It is considered the first known speculative bubble in history. In this case, the asset that became the target of intense speculation was tulips, a highly prized flower that, at that time, became increasingly valued by people.

I read about this too, but a friend who had dug deeper into the Tulip mania than me said it's apocryphal. 👀

apocryphal? Can you clarify?

meaning it didn’t really happen or most what we heard aren't true, and I could ask some books' name for you to dig. 👀

I understand that it only lasted for 6 months, but to say it never existed is a bit of a stretch. I don't think this is well explained. What are the arguments for claiming such a thing?

There have been some articles noting that while there was indeed a craze that crashed, it didn't lead to bankruptcy or financial ruin for anyone. So it'd be like, say, discussing Beanie Babies as a financial crisis.

Sigh. All of our tulips are at the "almost ready to pop" stage, and we're looking at these buds just begging them to finally open up. Not that it'll be as gorgeous as this festival, but man are they nice flowers to have.
