The tulip is thought of as Dutch but comes from Central Asia, reaching Europe through the Ottoman Empire – its name derives from the Persian word for turban. In the Netherlands it triggered tulip mania in the 1630s, often described as history’s first speculative bubble: single bulbs fetched the price of a canal house before the market collapsed in 1637.

In Turkey the tulip remains a national motif to this day, decorating tiles, carpets and mosques.
