Tulip
Tulips are one of the worlds most recognizable and popular flowers. First cultivated in Turkey, tulips are widely associated with Holland. The tulip was brought to the Netherlands in the 17th Century. Quickly thereafter, “tulip mania” ensued and rare tulips could be sold for more than a house or even a Rembrandt painting! Prices went so high that “tulip mania” is considered one of the world’s first economic bubbles. The tulip remains a large part of the Dutch culture, as Holland is the foremost supplier of tulip bulbs.
