Facts:
- Tulips are tokens of love, passion, romanticism, and dreaminess.

- The tulip is the official symbol of the Parkinson’s Disease Foundation.
- The Netherlands exports over 3 billion bulbs a year, in 8000 varieties.
At the beginning of the 17th century, everyone had become so besotted with tulips that people started using them as garden decoration. They soon became a major trading product in Holland and other parts of Europe. The interest for the flowers was huge and bulbs were sold for unbelievably high prices.
17th-century Tulipmania
The legend goes that when tulips came to the Netherlands, all the world went mad. A sailor who mistook a rare tulip bulb for an onion and ate it with his herring sandwich was charged with a felony and thrown in prison. A bulb named Semper Augustus, notable for its flame-like white and red petals, sold for more than the cost of a mansion in a fashionable Amsterdam neighborhood, complete with coach and garden. As the tulip market grew, speculation exploded, with traders offering exorbitant prices for bulbs that had yet to flower.
Today you can give a pop up bouquet of Tulips that bloom for years! And never needs watering :)
