Little Beauty’s #flowers open at ground level among spidery leaves and stretch to just 4 inches or so. They are a cool magenta with a blue base edged white. #TulipTuesday#Tulips
Wild tulips don’t have to be petite. Tschimganica (chim-GAN-ih-kuh) makes full-size bulbs. The flowers are suitably large and very showy: bright yellow with broad cranberry stripes on the outer petals. It comes from the Tien Shan Mountains, Central Asia. #TulipTuesday

One of the treasures you can view at the Amsterdam Tulip Museum is the “Rariorum Plantarum Historia” by famed botanist Carolus Clusius (1524-1609). With 15 pages devoted to #tulips, the book was the first Western monograph dedicated to the species. #RareBooks#Amsterdam
Greigiis (pronounced GREG-ee-eye) tulips are also sometimes called dwarf tulips. They're perfect for smaller container gardens.

@carolienbrugsma Carolien, You did the research on Wapendroppings in Noord-Holland. My father Cornelis Schipper was a member of Mandrill group and a cousin of Hil Schipper. His codename was Cor Klaassen. Could you contact me at [email protected]?
Happy 492nd Birthday to Carolus Clusius - on this day in 1526, the progenitor of the modern #Tulip trade, which within decades would lead to the Tulipmania still studied to this day.
