There are two stories related to Kaiser’s Crown (also known as ‘Crown Imperial’):
1) According to a belief in the Christian world; As Jesus goes to the crucifixion, all the flowers on his path bend with respect and sorrow, but Kaiser’s Crown stands tall. But this flower, deeply touched by Jesus' gaze at him and then crucified, bends his neck from sorrow and shame and begins to cry. Because of this story, this flower is considered sacred in the Christian world.
2) Assyrians living in the Hakkâri region in the past, names this flower “Weeping tulip” because it emits water from its belly every morning. “Ters Lale”, roughly translated as “upside down tulip” is still very valuable and under protection today.
