TRUE LOVE
The most popular tulips
were called flamed or feathered tulips
usually featuring red patches
with light backgrounds.
These tulips are actually infected with a virus
that changed the flower's color
and eventurally killed the bulb.
The tulip is a symbol of true love.

WHAT PRICE BEAUTY?
Pansies have a very light fragrance.
One legend tells
that the flower gave up its perfume
because people would trample the grass
just to smell it. In exchange,
the pansy was rewarded with great beauty.

ROSE: THE QUEEN OF FLOWERS
The color of the rose
tells its meaning.
The red rose is a symbol of love.
A yellow rose means friendship,
a white rose innocence,
a dark pink rose thankfulness.
A fossil imprint of a rose
discovered in Colorado
dates back 40 million years.
The first written record is 5000 years old.
The oldest living rose lives in Germany
thought to be 1000 years old.
