Today, let's discover another flower that never fails to capture my heart – the tulip. Though not extravagantly fancy, they grace our garden and dining table frequently, symbolizing the arrival of spring. As the weather turns colder, we all seek something to look forward to, a comforting thought in the midst of winter's harshness. My source of comfort traces back to a warm spring morning in London, England, when I woke up early to find our backyard adorned with tulips, hyacinths, and white pear flowers after a rain. The sweet, fresh scent of spring has been a solace through challenging times over the years.
It's indeed surprising that while roses are commonly associated with love, in the Victorian Language of Flowers, tulips not only "declare my love for you" but also carry a touching "Romeo and Juliet" story. So, the next time you want to express love and care, consider tulips as a alternative to roses, appreciating their timeless allure and charm.
