It is a treasure all over, and it selflessly dedicates itself to mankind. There is a wonderful legend in history about sunflowers. In ancient times, there was a farmer's daughter named Minggu. She was honest, honest and handsome, but she was regarded as a thorn in the side of her stepmother, the "female overlord", and was humiliated and mistreated in every possible way. Once, because of a trivial matter, I contradicted my stepmother, which made her angry. I used a whip to beat her, but I accidentally hit my own daughter who came to persuade her. At this time, the stepmother was angry and resentful, so she took advantage of the bright light at night. The girl gouged out her eyes while she was sleeping. Ming Gu was in unbearable pain, broke down the door and ran away, and died soon after. After her death, a plate of bright yellow flowers bloomed on her grave, facing the sun all day long. It was a sunflower. It means that Minggu yearns for light and hates darkness. This legend encourages people to hate violence and darkness and pursue light. This sunflower has flourished ever since. The Netherlands, Turkey, Hungary - Tulips The Netherlands, the garden of Europe, the country of flowers, when talking about the Netherlands, we have to talk about its national flower - the tulip. The history of Dutch tulips begins with a horticulturist named Clusius. In the 16th century, Clusius, who worked as a gardener in the Royal Gardens of Vienna, did everything possible to obtain the beautiful tulips native to Asia from the Austrian ambassador to Turkey, and brought the tulips to the Netherlands, making this flower very popular. Tulip fever spread all over the Netherlands. At first, the value of tulips increased exponentially, and many people planted tulips crazily. Some people even exchanged a villa with a garden for a precious variety. By 1637, the price of tulips plummeted and the market was in crisis. The government came forward to rectify the situation and returned to normal. Nowadays, Dutch tulips are one of the main export commodities for earning foreign exchange. In the Netherlands, tulips are a symbol of beauty, solemnity, luxury and success. Although the Dutch tulips are famous all over the world, the native land of tulips is actually Türkiye. Turks love tulips even more. The biological name of tulip is Tulipa, which comes from the Turkish word TUber1d, which means that the tulip flower is as beautiful as an Islamic girl wearing a headscarf. Tulips became the national flower of Turkey earlier than the Netherlands. Tulips bring colorful and happy life to people who love them. Hungary, Iran, and New Zealand also designate tulips as their national flowers. France - Iris France is a country of flowers, and its capital, Paris, is known as the "Flower Capital". The oriole's tail is regarded as the national flower of the Kingdom of France. It is said that when Louis and Clovis of the Franks were baptized, God's gift to him was the golden lily. The French lily has a similar pronunciation to "Louis' flower". The golden lily is regarded as pure, and the golden lily resembles the flying posture of a white dove, symbolizing the "Holy Spirit". King Louis VI of France used the golden lily as his seal and coin pattern, decorating the edge of his blue robe. He wore a blue robe to attend the ceremony of being appointed king, so the golden lily became a symbol of royal power. In fact, the golden lily mentioned here is the golden lily. The French grow fragrant roots and tails not only for ornamental purposes, but also as an important raw material for obtaining essence. Regarding the French national flower, another saying is the lily. According to legend, King Cropius, who ruled France at the time, used a frog as his emblem. Once a hermit appeared in his house and asked him to present a beautiful shield with a lily carved on it to the queen. From then on, Crops used this shield to fight on the battlefield and won every battle. From then on, the lily was designated as the national flower.
