Description
Taken at the United States Botanical Gardens in Washington D.C., these yellow tulips caught my eye. I love tulips!! They do not last vey long in my garden because the deer all come and eat them up! I was curious what the meaning and symbol was of the yellow tulip, so I found this on the internet:
"What the Yellow Tulip Means"
Generally the color yellow in flowers signifies friendship but with yellow tulips, it is often associated with having a great smile. To be more specific it means there’s sunshine in your smile or it could also mean cheerfulness. So the yellow tulips can be used to describe a person who has a bright, radiant and enigmatic smile. But when it comes to the negative connotation of the yellow tulips, it symbolizes that a person is rejected in love.
According to legends, it is believed that happiness can be found in the buds of a yellow tulip. Since almost everybody wants to achieve happiness, many wanted to get that happiness but the yellow tulip bud won’t open. Several people and several methods were done to make the yellow buds open but to no avail. Until one day, a little boy with a radiant and bright smile approached the yellow tulip bud that magically opened and brought happiness to the people. The little boy’s smile depicted sunshine in his smile so the yellow tulip responded to him.
Used to be, the yellow tulip means hopeless love but over the years the meaning had evolved with thoughts of cheerfulness. To welcome Easter, the yellow tulips are often incorporated to flower arrangements as it also means that you are welcoming springtime. Since the yellow tulip is associated with sunshine, it’s often used as a thanksgiving for the return of warmth as well as abundance after a long winter season. It’s also the flower being sent for those who gave birth to a lovely baby boy. When given to a sick person, it only means cheer up and get well soon."
