Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent was the first person to grow tulips on purpose. He really liked tulips, so much that he had pictures of them on his clothes. Rich people even put a single tulip on their fancy hats, called turbans. Because of this, European travelers and diplomats started calling tulips "lâle" (pronounced as "lale" in modern Turkish).

Tulips were brought to Holland from the Ottoman Empire in the 16th century. Just a few years after arriving in Holland, tulips became the most popular-after commodity in the entire Netherlands. 

The cultivation and spread of tulips in Europe is often associated with the Dutch Golden Age of the 17th century, particularly the tulip mania that occurred in the Netherlands during that time. Tulips were introduced to Europe from the Ottoman Empire, where they were already popular.
