Tulip Rembrandt Mix

Spectacular Rembrandt tulips inspired Tulipmania, a period in the Dutch Golden Age during the 17th century, when the cost of a single bulb could cost more than an average family home. Tulipmania is often cited as the first example of an economic bubble. Prices of novelty tulip bulbs reached extraordinarily high levels and then suddenly collapsed.. A popular story set during this time concerns a sailor who was thrown in a Dutch jail for eating what he thought was an onion. The onion that went so well with his pickled herring breakfast, was in fact a tulip bulb, and the cost of the sailor’s breakfast was equivalent to the cost of feeding an entire crew for twelve months!. Happily, those days are over, and you can now have some of these gorgeous tulips, with their characteristic bold colours with contrasting brushstrokes of secondary shades, at far more reasonable prices.
