It is not certain who first introduced tulips to Europe from the Ottoman Empire, where they were regarded as a sign of sign of abundance and a barometer of wealth. Upon arrival in the Netherlands in the late 1590s, they were carefully cultivated through much trial and error in educational and private gardens. Their size and beauty made them instantly popular among all classes of society.
Blending Color Through Experimentation
The indigenous flowers of Europe in the early seventeenth century paled in comparison to the brilliantly colored tulip. A virus of the species causes variations of color in the petals, which engendered much experimentation in propagation among gardeners, florists and scientists. In the early 1620s, a spectacular specimen of tulip called Semper Augustus was cultivated in Holland during its Golden Age. This particular tulip was one of outstanding beauty, with crimson petals accented with white stripes.
