Facts About Flowers
Facts About Tigridia
This flower’s name tells everything there is to say. The coloring of some varieties of tigridia is reminiscent of the colors on a tiger skin. But this flower has proved so rich in bright, succulent colors that the name given for the garden-cultivated plant reflects this, its unique property: Tigridia peacock (Tigridia pavonia)…
Facts About Tulip
The tulip came to Europe thanks to Austria’s ambassador to Constantinople, Ogier Ghiselain de Busbecq. In 1554, he brought bulbs of the formerly unknown flower to Vienna, giving them a new name similar to the word “turban”. The tulip’s triumphal progress through the world began at this moment, its eventual fate somewhat reminiscent of a gripping detective novel.
Facts About Black Tulip
The history of the black tulip is very interesting. Residents of Haarlem, a small city near Amsterdam, established a reward of 10,000 guilders for whomever was first to grow a black tulip. The order was carried out, and on May 15, 1637, all who wished could gaze upon the black tulip. Unfortunately, history does not tell us the name of the successful floriculturalist.
