Flowers in Turkey

Among the wide range of fresh flowers available in Turkey flower shops, it is the national flower which is the most popular and sought after. In fact, Turkey's national flower is considered to be one of the most beautiful flowers in the world.


Tulip - National Flower of Turkey
The Tulip - National Flower of Turkey

The Tulip takes its name from the Turkish word 'tulbend', which means 'turban'. The tulip most likely got its name for the Turkish tradition of wearing a tulip in one's turban, and what led Europeans to classify the tulip in such a way. Indeed, for many years the tulip served as a symbol of the Ottoman Empire, as it was widely cultivated and spread by Ottoman Turks. Native to Central Asia, Turkish growers have been cultivating tulips for thousands of years. The tulip is a popular spring flower which comes in many colours. The wide variety of colours have made this flower widely known, and is perhaps the second most loved flower worldwide, after the rose.

Tulips are showy flowers with about 6 petals, and their colours range from yellow, orange, white, purple, pink, red, blue, green and any shade in between, and they are a good choice for brightening up a home or office. They represent dreaminess and stand for the imagination. You can also declare your love with a tulip, as the atmosphere created by tulips is one of romantic dreaminess.


Popular Flowers in Turkey

Another popular native flower in Turkey is the Crocus, meaning saffron yellow. Other flowers native to the country are the Snowdrop, Lenten Rose, Winter Aconite and Herbaceous, which bloom to the full during the winter season.

Much like other countries, Turkish people use flowers to communicate a wide range of emotions. A recognition of the symbolism of flowers in Turkey started in the 17th century. Flowers, particularly the tulip, had always enjoyed a significant status in art and culture, but was limited to embroideries and paintings. Only after the 1600s did Turkish people start using and giving flowers to pass on a particular message.

Apart from the much loved Crocus, popular flowers in Turkey include Orchids, Roses and White Calla Lilies. Send flowers to Turkey, from tulips to other types of flowers, you can surprise your loved ones with a joyous flower bouquet in Turkey!

Flowers in Malta


What are the most popular flowers found in flower shops in Malta? What is the national flower of Malta? Are there other native flowers growing in Malta?

National Flower of Malta

Widnet il-Bahar or Maltese Centaury
The Maltese Centaury is the national plant of Malta. Called ‘Widnet il-Bahar’ in Maltese, it is wholly native to the Maltese Islands and cannot be found elsewhere. It has been adopted as the national flower of Malta since 1973. It is commonly found growing in cliffs surrounding the north and south west coast of Malta, such as Dingli Cliffs. It is also found in Gozo such as Ta Cenc cliffs. Lately, the Maltese Centaury has been threatened with extinction, as coastal cliffs are faced with the problem of rubbish dumping and lack of care, destroying the natural habitat in which the national flower of Malta grows.

Native Maltese Flowers

Malta and Gozo enjoy a vast flora, being centred in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, and the Maltese have cultivated various species, about 800 of which are indigenous to the Islands. As the countryside of Malta is diminishing due to industrialisation and an increase in the number of buildings, some flower and plant species are endangered. Despite all this, flowers and plants continue to be a delight to the Maltese citizens, and a stroll in the countryside is at the heart of most Maltese.
