There are so many beautiful flowers in the world. The tulip is thought to be probably one of a few very special representatives of the flower kingdom. This flower is a symbol of love, hope and beauty that brings out the best feeling in the human soul. Although it is a symbol of the Netherlands, the tulip is not native to this country. It is a flower of the East, a child of Central Asia. Scientists believe that the first tulip came from the slopes of the Pamirs and grew among the foothills and valleys of the Tien Shan Mountains. They were well adapted to survive the winters and hot summers of Central Asia. The flowers of the Tien Shan were much shorter than modern tulips, carrying their petals usually a few inches from the ground. Nearly half of the 120 known species of tulips grow wild in this area.
