Did you know the tulips natural homes are the Mediterranean and Asia (not Amsterdam)? Its name comes from the Persian and Turkish words for turban. Seeds were first brought to Europe in 1554 and within a few years they graced many gardens. Passion for the blooms led to the wild tulip mania in Holland in the seventeenth century, when fortunes were made and lost in the trade of bulbs. You can now get a six-pack for £1.20. My, how things change.
