Ornamental flower

Each color its meaning

Each stem a closed bud

A turban compared.

Elongated and delicate petals

Netherland’s trademark

Name of a tall glass for beer

When thirst demands.

Originating in China or Turkey

Beauty and sophistication icons

Due to the legend of the Turkish prince Farhad

In red they are symbols of true love and passion

Informed of the death of his beloved Shirin

The prince couldn't take his pain

Rode to the cliff

From every drop of his blood, this flower was born in red.
