Legend has it that in Europe there was a beautiful maiden who was loved at the same time by three handsome knights. One gave her a crown, one gave her a sword, and another gave her gold. The maiden did not know how to choose, so she asked the flower goddess for help. The flower goddess turned her into a tulip: the crown became the flower bud, the sword became the leaves, and the gold became the bulb. In this way she accepted the love of all three knights at once, and the tulip also became the embodiment of love.
