Red tulips mean ‘perfect love.’ This is because a prince named Farhad fell in love with a woman named Shirin. After she was killed, he committed suicide and a scarlet tulip sprang up from each droplet of his blood.

Harps

Harps are used in many love songs because of their beautiful sound. King David once played the harp to the Lord as a way to express his devotion and love. Thought Catalog Logo Mark
