One gave her a crown; one gave her a sword; one gave her a pile of gold. But she favored none of them, so she had no choice but to pray to the flower god. The flower god felt deeply that love cannot be forced, so he turned the crown into flowers, the sword into green leaves, and the pile of gold into a bulb, and together these became the tulip. Every year on Valentine's Day, for young men and women expressing love, besides roses, tulips have also become the best choice for conveying affection to a lover.
