tulip

Tulips are beautiful flowers that represent spring. They are characterized by their cup-shaped petals and come in a variety of colors, such as red, yellow, and pink.

Tulips are famous as the representative flower of the Netherlands. Every spring, people from all over the world come to see the grand tulip festival in the Netherlands.

In the 17th century in the Netherlands, there was a unique economic phenomenon called "Tulip Mania," where the price of a single tulip bulb was more expensive than a house. This is recorded as the first economic bubble in history.

Tulips are originally native to Turkey and spread to Europe in the 16th century. Today, the Netherlands accounts for over 90% of global tulip bulb exports, and the annual Keukenhof Gardens tulip festival has become a world-renowned tourist attraction. Notably, it has also recently gained attention as a model example of sustainable floriculture.
