The Shady Truth About Tulips

By Jeffrey Myers


Man believes itself to have dominion over the natural world. This belief has driven man both to serve as the stewards of nature and the destroyers of it. As the destroyers, man has destroyed forests of trees. As the stewards, man has cultivated and raised many other types of plants. One such example of these plants are Siam tulips.

The Siam tulip is a flower with a long stem. It is native to Southeast Asia, in what used to be the kingdom of Siam. The bulb comes in varying shades of red and pink, and can sometimes even in brown. Now, despite the name, it is not a member of the tulip family. It is in fact more closely related to turmeric of the ginger family than any member of the tulip family.

Throughout the course of human history, plants have played a role in human culture and mythology. Some mythologies depict a person being born from the bud of a flower. Some religions may involve spell craft, which may or may not work, and plants are usually an important ingredient for casting certain spells and mixing certain potions.

Some people like to grow plant life as a hobby, something to do to pass the time. Others garden as therapy. But some people grow plant life, either as a wholesaler or to sell at a retail outlet. Whatever the reason, millions of people all over the planet roll up their sleeves every day and get to gardening.

A bouquet is tradition for human celebration. When beauty queen wins a pageant, they are generally given a crown, a sash, and a bouquet. When people celebrate occasions, a bouquet is often given to the celebrant or the guest of honor.

Flowers are romantic, or at least some types of them are. During courtship, one partner will present the other with a bouquet, especially during the first date. Sometimes, the present is not a bouquet but a corsage to be worn on the wrist, this practice is especially prominent among teenagers. But the beginning of a relationship is not the only time a person can present their partner with plant life as a gift. In fact, a person can present their partner with plant life as a gift for no reason whatsoever. A person can also give flora as a present in order to issue an apology, and the more elaborate the arrangement, the more grievous the wrong.

But a flower is not just use for occasions and symbolic meaning. They are also used for decoration. A special occasion, like a wedding or an anniversary, can usually be marked by a distinctive centerpiece in the center of the table. Homes are also decorated with various flora, all in an effort to make a space more beautiful.

Flowers also smell good. A perfumer uses floral scents when concocting scents. People like to be in areas that smell good.

Nature covers the whole of the planet, and man is the dominant species of the world. Humankind may believe itself to the masters of the natural world. To some extent, that is true. Man can exert some control over the flora of the world. But to an even greater extent, humanity is in fact subservient to the natural world, entirely dependent on it for almost everything.
