Cultivation of the tulip began in Iran ( Persia), probably in the 10th century. [6] Early cultivars must have emerged from hybridisation in gardens from wild collected plants, which were then favoured, possibly due to flower size or growth vigour. The tulip is not mentioned by any writer from antiquity, [29] therefore it seems probable that tulips were introduced into Anatolia only with the advance of the Seljuks. [29] In the Ottoman Empire, numerous types of tulips were cultivated and bred, [30] and today, 14 species can still be found in Turkey. [29] Tulips are mentioned by Omar Kayam and Jalāl ad-Dīn Rûmi. [29] Species of tulips in Turkey typically come in red, less commonly in white or yellow. The Ottoman Turks had discovered that these wild tulips were great changelings, freely hybridizing (though it takes 7 years to show colour) but also subject to mutations that produced spontaneous changes in form and colour.
