Tulip

Why I made it?

My grandpa was from Friesland, and tulips are an important part of Dutch culture. He  passed away some years ago so I wanted to know the meaning behind a tulip and to know the perspective of other peoples opinions of the flower. 

Meaning

Tulips are a symbol of beauty and elegance the way the tulips bloom with bright colours . The blooming tulip is also a sign to show that spring is approaching. Tulips are often used to create creative displays in fields because of their bright bold colours.
