The Turkish Prince Farhad was in love with the maiden Shirin.
When he learned that she had been killed, he was overcome with grief and rode his horse over the edge of a cliff to his death.
Scarlet tulips grew from each droplet of his blood and gave the red tulip its meaning...Perfect Love.
Think about that while you're helping us replant the 29,000 red tulips that Rockhurst University is donating to Troost Avenue this week.
You have something better to do?
