NAME STORY: The word, tulip was derived from (ARABIC WORD) pronounced as "delband" in the Persian language with the meaning of turban, in Ottoman Empire around 1554, by diplomat Ogier Ghiselin de Busbecq. This name is chosen because of the similarity in the appearance of a tulip flower to that of a turban. It may have been due to the lost in translation during the time when wearing tulips on turbans was considered fashionable. Possibly, the translator may have been confused with the wording of both the flower and the turban. Also, it also commonly grown in the garden as an ornamental plant, it is then called garden tulip.
