"Tulips originated in Persia, where legend tells of a Persian youth, named Ferhad, who fell in love with a young woman named Shirin. She did not reciprocate his feelings for her, so he went out into the desert to die from a broken heart. As he wept, his tears fell into the sand and beautiful tulips sprang up. To early Americans, the tulip represented all things associated with a peaceful and contented home life and the stylized three-petaled tulip represented faith, hope, and charity to the Pennsylvania Dutch."
