The history in tulips posters

The name "tulip" comes from the shape of the flower, where the word itself can be traced from the Persian "delband" meaning turban. Another reason why it is linked to Turkey is that the Turkish decorated their turbans using tulip stems. In tulips posters, you not only have eye-candy, but also an important flower in many cultures. Its origin was in the Ottoman Empire although it was discovered earlier in Central Asia. During the 16th century, there was massive importation into Holland where they were used in various paintings and festivals. As a result, Holland is now known for the cultivation of tulips and is its largest producer and exporter. You will see why when you view tulips posters by Photowall. The Dutch grew so fond of the flower that they are now unerringly connected to it. "Tulip Fields, Claude Monet" is a great example of this, wherein you see a typical Dutch landscape with some beautiful tulips in it.

Many kinds

The tulip can actually boast of many different types, but the most prominent are the Darwin Hybrid Tulips which produce long-lasting flowers on strong stems with brilliant colours that show up beautifully in the landscape. There are also Triumph Tulips which make up the largest group of tulips and offer the widest range of colours, as you might have already noticed in tulips posters. Double Tulips are long-lasting, semidouble to double flowers that bear a striking resemblance to double Peonies. Fringed Tulips are edged with very finely cut fringes, like in the tulips poster entitled "Pink Fringed Tulip". Fosteriana Tulips are very popular for landscaping in Europe but not as familiar in the United States. Greigii Tulips are chalice-shaped flowers that generally open wide to reveal the interior colors. See if you can spot them in the tulips poster "Tulips and Poppy Party". The other notable tulips types are Kaufmanniana Tulips, Lily-Flowered Tulips, Parrot Tulips, Viridiflora Tulips and Species Tulips. You can find examples of these in our selection of tulips posters.

Meaning in tulips posters
