Tulip time in the Garden of Adin. A flower a day keeps the marriage counselor away.
The word tulip, first mentioned in Western Europe in or around 1554, first appeared in English as tulipa or tulipant, from Ottoman Turkish tülbend. This name was applied because of a perceived resemblance of the shape of a tulip flower to that of a turban. This may have been due to a translation error in early times when it was fashionable in the Ottoman Empire to wear tulips on turbans. The translator possibly confused the flower for the turban.
