Tulip Day is observed every year on May 13
Tulip Day is observed every year on May 13. It is a day to celebrate tulips, which are brightly-colored, spring-blooming flowers. Tulips originated in Central Asia, where they grew wild, though cultivation of the flower began in Turkey around 1000 A.D. From then on, they became highly prized in the Ottoman Empire, such that they were specially cultivated for the pleasure of the Sultan. The flower’s sojourn to Europe took place in the 16th century when they were planted in the Netherlands for medicinal purposes. Today, tulips are still heavily associated with the European country. tulip
