Parrot Tulips

Parrot-Tulips2It is said that the original parrot tulip was traded for property in Holland over 100 year ago.  A property that in today’s standards was worth several hundred thousand dollars!  Unfortunately, the plant died within a year, due to a virus which was cause of the unusual blooms.

Today we can enjoy these beautiful flowers for a great deal less, and, from the benefit of hybridization – not virus!
