  1. Description

    • Tulips grow wild in Central Asia but they are now also being cultivated throughout the world.

    Tulipomania

    • At one point during the 17th century, tulips became wildly popular in Europe, especially in Holland. Because they became so expensive, many people sold off their fortunes.
