Tulips in flower Swaffham Norfolk


The vibrant tulip flowers are one of the most popular spring flowers in the world. They have been cultivated for over 500 years. The history of tulips can be traced back to Central and Western Asia. They were brought to Turkey by the nomadic tribes. In the late 16th century, when a European ambassador visited the Turkish Ottoman Empire, he was gifted tulip bulbs and seeds. Tulips are the third most popular flower in the world, next only to rose and chrysanthemum.
