Purple tulip flowers pictures.

 Although the Netherlands is known for its mass-cultivation of tulips, the tulip originates far away from its current commercial centre. The original Holland tulip varieties were simple in form, vividly colored and highly sought after. Carol-us Clusius, a famous botanist, was the first person to cultivate tulips in Holland while in the position of head botanist at the Dutch University in Leiden in the year 1593, according to the John Ford Bell Library.

 The meaning of purple flowers historically alludes to royalty. In Shakespeare's play "Hamlet," Ophelia speaks in her soliloquy about violets, the purple colour 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.

 Tulips come in a variety of colours and for the most part, they�re a symbol of a declaration of love. Among the Persian people, the tulip is an offering a young man makes to his beloved. By offering her a tulip, he says, �As the redness of this flower, I am on fire with love.� So it�s no surprise that the red tulip symbolizes love and romance, but there are lots of other colours the tulips bloom in and each one has a different meaning.

 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 colours, including various shades of purple. Though the purple tulip represents royalty, purple tulips are available to all classes of people and are a favourite springtime bulb in many countries. Their presence in a bouquet or a garden can symbolize nobility, strength, passion and love.

Purple Tulips- symbolizing royalty (as purple has long been known as a royal colour), this colour is often used for brides bouquets on their big day. Purple also symbolizes rebirth, therefore being the perfect colour  for spring.

Cyprus flowers gardens.

Cyprus is the third largest Island of the Mediterranean.  As the island is very dry during the Summer months, during Winter the island is a botanist�s heaven.  Cyprus is blessed with 1907 species, subspecies and flowering plants, some 141 of which are endemic. The climate, soil and geographical location have contributed to the wealth of Cyprus�s flora. 

The Troodos Mountains and the unspoiled Akamas Peninsula are particularly noted for their endemic plants. 

Cyprus is well known for its orchids � being home to 45 species one of which is the endemic Kotschy�s bee orchid. Other exquisite varieties are the Troodos Anatolian orchid, the giant orchid and the woodcock orchid. The best time to admire wild flowers is in early spring and late autumn. Worth looking out for is the white and yellow Cyprus crocus, the dark red Cyprus tulip, the three-coloured chamomile and the cotton thistle.

The island�s national plant is the Cyprus cyclamen, an endemic plant that flowers from September to January. The national tree is the golden oak that takes its name from the golden colour of its leaves. Also endemic to Cyprus, it is found in the Troodos mountain range and flowers from April to May. The fruits ripen from November to December. The forests are also graced with pine, cypress and cedar. Olive and carob trees grow widely, while deciduous fruit trees and nuts are grown in the mountains. I was living there in long time ago in 2004. i had a great memories from there.
