French Tulip - a photo on Flickriver

French Tulip

            he garden tulip probably has its origins in Asia and has been naturalized in north west Europe where in Holland during the years 1634-37 (tulip mania) bulbs were exchanged for wheat and livestock and traded on stock exchanges. There are 109 species of the genus Tulipa most of this diversity is to be found on the mountains of Hindu Kush and Pamir on the steppes of Kazakhstan. In gardens many hybrid cultivars are found as potted plants or grown for cut flowers. The name has its origins in the Persian language but came into English by way of the French tulipe.
