At Hayden Blest, we delight in the vibrant simplicity of tulips, flowers that radiate charm and carry a rich cultural heritage, making them a perfect pick for any heartfelt message. Tulips bloom with symbolism—red for true love and passion, yellow for cheerful thoughts and sunshine (a shift from their old Victorian tag of hopeless love), purple for royalty and elegance, and white for forgiveness or new beginnings. Their story stretches back centuries: originating in Persia, where they inspired poetry and art as emblems of paradise, tulips sparked “Tulip Mania” in 17th-century Holland, becoming symbols of wealth and obsession. In Turkish culture, their name (linked to “turban”) reflects grace and perfection, while today, they’re beloved worldwide as harbingers of spring and renewal.
