Needle Tulips at Night

No. 11 of 50 · free · 300 dpi

What you seeSlender Ottoman tulips with long needle-pointed petals lean in under a cobalt night sky, with a crescent at the centre.

What it meansIn Ottoman Turkish the tulip, lale, is written with the same letters as Allah and as hilal, the crescent, which helped make it the best-loved flower of Ottoman art. The new crescent at dusk marks the start of each month in the Islamic calendar.

Where it worksStriking and calm in a living room or study.
