Overview
Among the most beloved flowers of spring, the tulip may be the only flower in history to ever inspire mass hysteria: seventeenth-century Holland witnessed "tulipomania" when speculation in tulip bulbs raged out of control, almost bankrupting the entire nation. Known for their deep, cup-shaped flowers, tulips come in a wondrous array of colors, transforming the springtime landscape into a blooming paradise. This magnificent oversized volume celebrates the tulip in all its beauty with more than 75 glorious color photographs. A brief introduction invites readers to contemplate the history of the tulip and the reasons for its popularity, and an astonishing gallery of tulip reveals why this flower is so well-loved. Lavishly produced, Tulips is an unforgettable photographs gift for gardeners and connoisseurs of beauty alike.Book Details
