Let\u2019s Travel Back In Time<\/h3>\n

When you think of tulips you probably think of the Netherlands and Holland. Holland consists of two provinces within the 12 provinces of the Netherlands. So Holland is found within the Netherlands. I\u2019m glad that\u2019s cleared up!!<\/p>\n

However, tulips were once a wild flower growing in Central Asia, far from the Netherlands\u2026..an entire continent away! They were first cultivated by the Turks back around 1000AD and then in the 16th century became all the craze in the Ottoman Empire. The Sultan at that time craved the beauty of the tulip and demanded they be grown and cultivated for him. The name tulip was derived from the Turkish word for turban.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t[\/vc_column][vc_column width=”5\/12″ woodmart_css_id=”66742895c8acc” parallax_scroll=”no” woodmart_sticky_column=”false” wd_collapsible_content_switcher=”no” wd_column_role_offcanvas_desktop=”no” wd_column_role_offcanvas_tablet=”no” wd_column_role_offcanvas_mobile=”no” wd_column_role_content_desktop=”no” wd_column_role_content_tablet=”no” wd_column_role_content_mobile=”no” mobile_bg_img_hidden=”no” tablet_bg_img_hidden=”no” woodmart_parallax=”0″ woodmart_box_shadow=”no” responsive_spacing=”eyJwYXJhbV90eXBlIjoid29vZG1hcnRfcmVzcG9uc2l2ZV9zcGFjaW5nIiwic2VsZWN0b3JfaWQiOiI2Njc0Mjg5NWM4YWNjIiwic2hvcnRjb2RlIjoidmNfY29sdW1uIiwiZGF0YSI6eyJ0YWJsZXQiOnt9LCJtb2JpbGUiOnt9fX0=” mobile_reset_margin=”no” tablet_reset_margin=”no” wd_z_index=”no”]\t\t

Time to Skip Ahead-How Tulips Came to the Netherlands<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jumping ahead to the early 18th century, tulips remained popular in Turkey where festivals took place to celebrate the \u201cAge of Tulips\u201d or the \u201cTulip Era\u201d. But before that around 1590, a botanist named Carolus Clusius, originally from Venice, was asked to be director of the oldest botanical garden in Europe.<\/p>\n

It was called Hortus Botanicus and located in Leiden, The Netherlands. There he was commissioned to explore different flora and their medicinal values. His friend, a Turk, who was the ambassador to Constantinople (now Istanbul), saw the lovely tulips and decided to send some to Carolus to add to his garden in Leiden.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In the 17th century tulips were planted in the fields of Holland for their beauty rather than their medicinal purposes. Botanists started to hybridize the tulips and created glorious varieties. Some of these varieties were valued more than a house back in the early 1600\u2019s! This era lead to what was called \u201cTulipmania\u201d. Since the high prices for tulips were not sustainable, there was eventually an economic crash in The Netherlands.<\/p>\n

The late 17th and the 18th centuries proved to be more prosperous, the economy recovered, and the fascination with tulips continued to the present day.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t[\/vc_column][vc_column width=”5\/12″ woodmart_css_id=”667429421ec28″ parallax_scroll=”no” woodmart_sticky_column=”false” wd_collapsible_content_switcher=”no” wd_column_role_offcanvas_desktop=”no” wd_column_role_offcanvas_tablet=”no” wd_column_role_offcanvas_mobile=”no” wd_column_role_content_desktop=”no” wd_column_role_content_tablet=”no” wd_column_role_content_mobile=”no” mobile_bg_img_hidden=”no” tablet_bg_img_hidden=”no” woodmart_parallax=”0″ woodmart_box_shadow=”no” responsive_spacing=”eyJwYXJhbV90eXBlIjoid29vZG1hcnRfcmVzcG9uc2l2ZV9zcGFjaW5nIiwic2VsZWN0b3JfaWQiOiI2Njc0Mjk0MjFlYzI4Iiwic2hvcnRjb2RlIjoidmNfY29sdW1uIiwiZGF0YSI6eyJ0YWJsZXQiOnt9LCJtb2JpbGUiOnt9fX0=” mobile_reset_margin=”no” tablet_reset_margin=”no” wd_z_index=”no”]\t\t
