No? Then we are ready to tell you about it to you, handing a bouquet of flowers to a dear person, could tell him the amazing story of the tulips that were used to generate it.
to Start with the fact that the homeland of tulips is not Holland, as many mistakenly believe, and Persia. In the Persian documents of the 11th-12th centuries, first found mention of this about these beautiful colors, reminiscent of a turban (by the way, hence the name of the plant – “Tulip”). However, Persia is not only home to tulips, but the cradle of their varietal development, and all because local growers have significantly improved properties of wild species…
Export tulips from the East to Austria and then to England, Germany, began in the mid-16th century. And at the beginning of the next century, these plants had an incredible spread in Holland. By the way, it is curious that European gardeners prefer flowers of brightly-colored varieties, bought them, striving to continue the selection. But unfortunately, the growers are not aware of the variegated Lepestki of tulips are very often the symbol of virus diseases of plants… Given this, it becomes clear why until we reached the flowers with white and yellow Lepestki, and colorful tulips, get your bright color the result of genetic change, not the virus.
If in the 16th century, the growers are mainly working with variegated varieties of tulips, and, as we have seen, often unsuccessfully, in the 18th century became fashionable flowers with pale color. The newly popular bright colors began only in the 19th century (by the way, in our region the tulips were at the beginning of the 19th century), though it was already on the flowers with solid Lepestki and saturated colors.
How did it appear and have appeared before the new varieties of tulips? All of this happened and is happening through artificial and natural hybridization of wild varieties, species, and long-term selection of the best seedlings. It is clear that it is very hard work to wait for the results which sometimes had to have for a few decades. However, it is thanks to him, every contemporary person has the opportunity to call to your favorite shop and order a bouquet of tulips with an unusual color or a beautiful “dressing” with Lepestki.
by the Way, there is one important point that you should know, ordering a bunch of tulips (and no matter whether you want to deliver the song personally or it will be done by a professional flower delivery). Kiev and its best growers are reminded that all varieties of tulips today are divided on the timing of flowering and the shape of the buds.
