This wall art flower print is of the amazing and flamboyant Parrot Tulip. Spectacular and so exotic with its wavy, deeply frilled petals, it is easy to see how it got its name. Photographed in April 2020 it is definitely a star of the Spring garden.
Tulips are native to Central Asia and the Middle East where they were considered a luxury and were first introduced into Europe in the 16th century from Turkey. They were distributed throughout Holland resulting in a huge demand which eventually caused the tulip market to crash. They became so popular in paintings and festivals in the mid-seventeenth century which resulted in the first economic bubble. Named “tulip mania” the bulbs became so expensive they were used as money.
