Daffodils and Tulips
A pretty, but dull, slide. I could enliven it with a couple of facts, and you can judge if either, one or both are true.
Tradition holds that if a daffodil is forced to bloom for the Chinese New Year, it will bring luck to the whole household.
The name ‘Tulip’ originated from the Persian word ‘delband’ meaning turban, given the flowers turban shape. Another reason for its association with Turkey is because locals would often decorate their turbans with tulip stems.
Bonus - US Police have killed 598 people in 2020. So Far...
