Parkinson's Awareness Tulip

The tulip — a red flower with distinctive leaves shaped like the letters “p” and “d” — was designed by a young onset person with Parkinson’s (PWP) from Washington state — Karen Painter. Grassroots support for making her tulip the national symbol for Parkinson’s awareness is growing.

The red tulip has been associated with Parkinson’s awareness since 1980 when a Dutch horticulturalist who had PD developed a red and white tulip and named it "Dr. James Parkinson.” And the European Parkinson's Disease Association (EPDA) uses a stylized red tulip based on the "Dr James Parkinson" tulip as its logo.
