Stylized tulips. The tulip is the Turkish national flower. The steppes of Central Asia are the original cradle of the botanical tulip. The word “tülbend”, which means turban in Turkish, is the origin of the flower’s name. The tulip was quickly adopted by the Ottoman sultans who began growing it in the imperial gardens of Istanbul.
