The cultivation and trade of extremely valuable tulips began in the Netherlands after Carolus Clusius brought tulips from Turkey to Europe in 1593. During the Dutch Golden Age, tulip bulbs became an object of speculation. In the 1630s, prices for tulip bulbs rose to comparatively extremely high levels before the market collapsed abruptly in early February 1637 (= the first relatively well-documented speculative bubble in economic history). (Source: Wikipedia) THE TULIP: It came to Europe from Persia and Turkey in the 16th century. The Netherlands, especially Leiden, became the center of tulip cultivation. The "Semper Augustus" became particularly valuable because a virus caused it to have unique red and white flame patterns on its petals. During the tulip mania around 1643, it was recorded as the most expensive tulip in the world (Collection of the Norton Simon Art Foundation, USA). It is unknown who bred the Semper Augustus, as it is a historical, now extinct specimen. However, it became a symbol of the Dutch "tulip mania" (nl = tulpenwoede, tulpengekte) in the 17th century. At its peak in 1637, one bulb of this variety fetched 10,000 guilders, exactly the price of a house on a canal. In 1624, there were only 12 of this variety.

🌿🌱After the founding of Leiden University in 1575, it seemed sensible to establish a "hortus medicus," a herb garden where medical students could study medicinal plants. This marked the beginning of a development that continued at the LUMC Academic Hospital and the Bio Science Park. The "Hortus Botanicus Leiden" was established in 1590, making it the oldest botanical garden in the Netherlands. 🌷Carolus CLUSIUS, a Hortulanus from Vienna, was the first director of the garden in 1593. He oversaw its design and cultivated the first large tulip collections in Europe. These form the basis of the nearby Keukenhof in Lisse, the "Garden of Leiden." ☘In the 19th century, Philipp Franz von SIEBOLD introduced around 700 previously unknown plants from Japan and China.

For tulip lovers and fans of beautiful, flowery parks, a visit to Keukenhof in the Netherlands is a MUST. Between mid-March and the end of May, tulips of various varieties bloom there.

Great scenery, but bad bike path.

南ホラント州には、自然保護区クワーデ・ホエックのあるゲーレ・オーバーフラッキー島があります。この名前は、かつて多くの船が沈没したこの地域に潜む危険な潮流と砂州に由来すると言われています。このまだ若い砂丘の景観は、湿った砂丘の谷、塩性湿地、干潟のモザイクであり、非常に特別な動植物相を持っています。
