Plymouth Historical Society Meeting "Tulipmania," with Loraine
Campbell
A history of the tulip, which begins as a tiny wildflower in China
that was collected by nomadic Turks, found its way to the castles of
sultans during the Ottoman Empire, was cultivated, and traded into
Europe. In the 1630s, tulip trading in the Netherlands went berserk and
the bulbs became more valuable than gold and then rapidly went bust.
From there, the bulbs ended up in the satchels of pioneers who settled
New Amsterdam (later New York), and finally in Michigan backyards. |
