Description
Tulips (tulipa) have been cultivated for centuries. The name tulip comes from the Persian word for turban. Today, tulips are cultivated in a wide range of colors, including various shades of purple. Though the purple tulip represents royalty, purple tulips are available to all classes of people and are a favorite springtime bulb in many countries. Their presence in a bouquet or a garden can symbolize nobility, strength, passion and love.
The meaning of purple flowers historically alludes to royalty. In Shakespeare's play "Hamlet," Ophelia speaks in her soliloquy about violets, the purple color of which she relates to nobility.
Brides have used purple tulips in their bouquets—with tulips of complementary colors for their bridesmaids—as purple can signify the concept of love.
