Beautiful eyesTulip, Yellow........................... Hopless love(No flower has gone in and out of vogue quite so much as the Tulip. Condemned for many years in England to town parks and railway station gardens, they are now once again appreciated for their glorious colours and party-frock petals. Cultivated and prized like jewels by the Turks and highly regarded also by the Persians, their name comes from the Persian word "tulipant" meaning turban which was used to describe the shape of the flower. They were introduced into European gardens in the Sixteenth Century and were generally welcomed, but it was Holland that took the flower to its heart. and its pocket, and the cultivation and buying and selling of bulbs reached such a frenzy that the economy of the country was put in jeopardy. Several decades later the hysteria hit England where the government was forced to pass a law limiting the price of a single bulb to four huindred old English pounds. Tulips are grown solely for pleasure, having no value for the herbalist. they did finally make themselves useful, however, when the hungry peoples of occupied Europe were reduced to eating them during the war.)
