About the artwork

Unique handmade artwork on discarded wood

Tulip (Tulipa) is a genus of monocotyledonous plants in the lily family (Liliaceae). Tulips were introduced to the western world by the Viennese ambassador to Turkey, Ogier Gisleen van Busbeke, who wrote about the flowers he had seen in Edirne, Turkey, in 1551. Later, he sent some of their seeds to Austria.

The arrival of a cargo of tulip bulbs in Antwerp in 1562 marked the beginning of European tulip cultivation. The first documented specimens were planted by the Fleming Carolus Clusius in the Hortus botanicus in Leiden, which he had headed since 1593. The wood tulip (Tulipa sylvestris) is the only species that occurs in the wild in the Netherlands and has been established since the 19th century. Most of the cultivated forms of the tulip are derived from Tulipa gesneriana.

Ottoman sultans wore a tulip on their turban as a symbol. The name tulip is thus derived from the Persian word "purpose band" meaning turban.
