Before I bloom ...

            Tulipa Queen of Night

With 'Queen of Night' a black tulip was grown for the first time. Depending on the light, the calyx shimmers silky from deep dark purple to black. The famous variety is still rightly considered the most beautiful black tulip unmatched.
'Queen of Night' received an Award of Merit from the Koninklijke Algemeene Vereeniging voor Bloembollencultuur (KAVB) and an Award of Garden Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) in 1944. In 2007 the tulip was named Flower Bulb of the Year.
