Such was the grief that Farhad mounted his favorite horse and galloped over a cliff to his death.
From each drop of blood fallen to the ground, a scarlet tulip sprang up, making the flower a symbol of perfect love.

The Legend of Tulips
According to a Persian legend, a stonecutter named Farhad, fell in love with a princess named Shirin. But one day, the King who doesn't want her daughter married to a stonecutter decides to send a credible message to Farhad saying Shirin had been killed.
Such was the grief that Farhad mounted his favorite horse and galloped over a cliff to his death.
From each drop of blood fallen to the ground, a scarlet tulip sprang up, making the flower a symbol of perfect love.
