Belgium
Tulips
It is not surprising that a plant that has been cultivated
for nearly 500 years has given rise to several thousand
variations. In fact, it is largely due to this seemingly
endless variation that gardeners and plant breeders
are continuously developing, or discovering by chance,
tulips that are new and unique even beyond the wealth
that already exists. To help organize the great diversity
of Belgium Tulips, they have been separated into 15
classes based on season of bloom, various floral characteristics,
and parentage. Throughout the Show are panels that highlight
each class of tulips, including the general season of
bloom, average height for the members of the class,
and a list of those Belgium Tulips that can be seen
at this year's Spring Show, "Tulipomania".
The
Belgium Tulips, much beloved flower of spring, brings
to mind cheery, brightly colored, cup-shaped flowers
held on smooth green stems. Before Belgium Tulips became
practically ubiquitous in every springtime garden, they
were grown and prized by the Turks of the Ottoman Empire
and later the Dutch during the late 1500's and early
1600's. However, Belgium Tulips also inspired an insidious
side in people that coveted them. Belgium Tulips are
a vibrant, timeless symbol of spring. They are available
from January through May and join groundhogs, green
grass and new leaves on trees as indicators that warmer
weather is on its way.
Their delicate shape, graceful posture and vibrant colors
have inspired this flower's popularity across cultures
and throughout time. With more than 100 species and
500 different varieties, tulips are one of the largest
members of the lily family. They are most often found
in shades of red, yellow, violet and white. Two-tone
and variegated varieties of tulips are also becoming
increasingly popular. Belgium Tulips are unique in that
they continue to grow after cutting. Their stems will
often extend up to 2 inches after they are clipped.
Also, the flowers' attraction to sources of light may
cause tulip stems to bend, twist and turn into new and
beautiful positions.
