For hundreds of years tulips have been packaged and transported around the world – a testament to people’s love for the colorful blossom. First domesticated in the Ottoman Empire, tulips quickly became a status symbol in the Ottoman royal court. In fact, the word tulip is derived from the word turban – a nod toward the visual similarity between the two.
