It is believed the first tulips in the United States were grown near Spring Pond at the Fay Estate in Lynn and Salem, Massachusetts. From 1847 to 1865, a historic land owner named Richard Sullivan Fay, Esq., one of Lynn's wealthiest men, would settle on 500 acres (2.0 km2) located partly in present-day Lynn and partly in present-day Salem. While there, Mr. Fay imported many different trees and plants from all parts of the world and planted them among the meadows of the Fay Estate.
Variegated varieties admired during the Dutch tulipomania gained their delicately feathered patterns from an infection with the tulip breaking virus, a mosaic virus that was carried by the green peach aphid, Myzus persicae.

For centuries, there have been various mystical practices and beliefs used for different purposes. These include ancient remedies, elixirs, and enchantments, including spells that supposedly bring individuals closer together."
The tulip has a rich history of magical uses and symbolism. As one of the first flowers to bloom in spring, it represents hope and new beginnings. With their vibrant colors and unique shape, tulips were one of the earliest flowers grown for their beauty alone. Evidence of their popularity can be traced back to ancient times, with tulip designs found on pottery and fabric dating back to 2200-1600 B.C. The Turks used them in love potions and spells, and they were also a popular flower in Turkish culture.
Aside from their association with love, tulips are also believed to bring prosperity and protection. They were commonly worn as a safeguard against poverty and misfortune. With its vast array of colors, the tulip can be utilized in various forms of color magic such as for prosperity and protection spells.
In addition to love spells and potions, tulips can also be used in luck magic and protection magic. While there is not much recorded use of tulips for medicinal purposes, it is believed that a poultice made from tulip flowers can effectively treat rashes, stings, scratches, and minor burns. Furthermore, adding tulip oil to baths or massage oils can help uplift one's mood.
To create a poultice, warm 2-4 flowers in hot water and place them within a towel. Gently crush the petals and apply them to the affected area for about 10 minutes using the warm towel. Petals can also be combined with castor oil for added benefits when treating burns or insect bites
