It’s spring and flowers are bursting into bloom all around – including tulips.

In 2005 the tulip was adopted as the official symbol of Parkinson’s at the 9th World Parkinson’s Disease Day Conference in Luxembourg. However, the flower had been informally associated with the disease for more than 20 years prior to that.

Back in 1980, a Dutch horticulturalist named J.W.S. Van der Wereld – who was living with Parkinson’s – developed a new red and white variant of the tulip.

He named his newly cultivated flower the Dr. James Parkinson tulip in honor of the medico who first documented the features of Parkinson’s disease in his 1817 publication "An Essay on the Shaking Palsy".

The Dr. James Parkinson tulip is officially described as “..exterior being a glowing cardinal red, small feathered white edge, the outer base whitish; the inside, a currant-red to a turkey-red, broad feathered white edge, anthers pale yellow.”

Today wearing the red tulip raises awareness and shows support for people living with Parkinson’s and their families globally.

The leaves make the letter "P" and "D".

Remember COVID-19 ! When the world was brought to its knees by a tiny virus, it was science that came to the rescue - be it vaccines for prevention or drugs for treatment.

On this World health day - 2026, let us take a pledge to stand with science. Choose evidence over myths and misinformation, find science-based resources, trust only qualified healthcare professionals & focus more on preventive health than just treating ailments once they surface.

Let us take the charge of our health in our own hands!

Locked-in syndrome (LIS) is a rare neurological condition where a person is conscious and aware but completely paralyzed, except for vertical eye movements and blinking. Essentially, they are "locked-in" their own body, unable to move or speak, but can still see, hear, and think.

The movie "the diving bell and the butterfly" is based on the memoir by a journalist Jean Dominique Bauby who suffered a massive stroke and ended up being in a "locked-in state". How he learnt to communicate through eye-blinking and dictate his own experience of the condition - of his body being trapped as in a diving bell but his spirit was like a butterfly - forms the crux of the story.
