Tulips and grape hyacinths show their beauty side by side.
Although tulips are always associated with the Netherlands, commercial cultivation of the flower began already in the Ottoman Empire (= Turkey) in the 16th century.
Grape hyacinth is native to Central and South-Eastern Europe where it grows in open woodland and mountain meadows.
It’s a popular garden plant for centuries and was already cultivated in gardens of ancient Greece and the Roman empire.
