The name "tulip" is thought to be derived from a Persian word for turban, which it is thought to resemble. Tulips were originally found in a region stretching east from Turkey to Central Asia. In the seventeenth century Netherlands, during the time of the Dutch Golden Ages , the contract prices for the recently introduced tulip bulbs reached extraordinarily high levels (known as Tulip Mania), with some single tulip bulbs being sold for more than 10 times the annual income of a skilled craftsworker. The price for tulip bulbs dramatically collapsed in February 1637 and since then they have become naturalized and cultivated world wide.

The white water lily is a perennial plant that often forms dense colonies. The leaves arise on flexible stalks from large thick rhizomes and are more round than heart-shaped, with bright green leaves that usually float on the water’s surface. The flowers arise on separate stalks, have brilliant white petals (25 or more per flower) with yellow centers and may float on or stick above the water.

What’s more classically romantic than red roses? Used across the world as symbols of love, everyone knows that red roses are the perfect way to declare their feelings of romantic love. Whether in celebration of an anniversary, wedding, or on Valentine’s Day , there is no mistaking the implication of passion, desire and above all, love, associated with red roses. The name Rose comes from the Latin word Rosa and is often used as a girls name. All roses were originally wild and come from several parts of the world, North America, Europe, northwest Africa and many parts of Asia, with over 100 different species of roses. Over hundreds of years they have been specially bred to produce a wide variety of growing habits and a broad range of colors, from the well-known red rose, to yellow roses and sometimes white or purple roses. Many have a strong, pleasant scent and most have prickles (incorrectly called thorns) on their stems.

The flowers of the growing Nigella are surrounded by a series of bracts. These are supported by a thread-like leaf structure, known as a ruff, on the cultivar love in a mist plant. This gives the appearance of the flowers being surrounded by a mist, hence the romantic name. The flowers appear to peek through the mist in colors of blue, pink and white.
