Tulips flaunting in our garden: why are they called 鬱金香 in Chinese?

Rarely did I post any photo unless I had something to say about it; this applies to the garden posts.

After having the spring garden for several years; I am running out of words to say about tulips; I have said everything I know of what Emily Dickinson wrote about it.  Herman Melville only mentioned tulips once in his Moby Dick.

These tulips are flaunting their vivacious beauty in our garden inviting me to say something nice about them; I therefore turn to Chinese literature, of which I know so little; but to no avail.  I do not even know why they are called 鬱金香 in Chinese.

鬱 (melancholy) 金 (gold) 香 (fragrant, scented); tulips are not even scented.
