Description
‘Pink Tulips’ floral art was photographed in January 2023. The tulips brought some much needed cheer during the coldest of winter months. I love tulips for their many shapes and colours, and sometimes quirky expressions.
Tulips are native to Central Asia and the Middle East where they were considered a luxury and were first introduced into Europe in the 16th century from Turkey. They were distributed throughout Holland resulting in a huge demand which eventually caused the tulip market to crash. They became so popular in paintings and festivals in the mid-seventeenth century which resulted in the first economic bubble. Named “tulip mania” the bulbs became so expensive they were used as money.
