Dutch national flower

As the main export ornamental crop in the Netherlands, it has become one of the lifelines of the Dutch economy, and it is also called the symbol of the Netherlands with windmills.

Tulip originated in the Middle East and was introduced to Europe in16th century. In the Middle East, people always associate it with the Muslim headscarf. Because its flowers look like Muslim headscarves, it is called dulband in Persian and borrowed from Turkish to make tulbend, which means "Muslim headscarves". This word entered English through French tulipe/tulipan and Latin tulipa, and evolved into the form of tulip. The word tulbend in Turkish came into English through another channel. It is called turban and still means "Muslim headscarf". morphological character
