Spring Tulips - Colorful Dutch Flower Photography

Sale price$45.00
Material:
Size:

Rows of brilliant yellow and deep purple tulips stripe a Dutch flower field in spring, the kind of cultivated color block the Netherlands has been planting for four centuries. Tulips arrived in Europe from the Ottoman court in the 1500s, triggered the first speculative bubble in financial history during the 1637 "tulip mania," and have anchored Dutch agriculture and identity ever since. The Bollenstreek bulb region west of Amsterdam still produces most of the world's commercial tulip bulbs, and for six weeks every April the fields turn into the postcard image of Holland itself. Spring color organized into bands, the way the Dutch have always done it.
