In this chapter, I’ll show you some tulips blooming at Tamago no Mori Flower Garden (たまごの森フラワーガーデン) in Hitachi Seaside Park. It is surprising that there are approximately 260,000 tulips of 270 varieties in the garden.
Tulips were popular during the economic bubble (tulip bubble) in the Netherlands in the 17th century. At that time, tulip bulbs were as valuable as gold. The black tulip bulbs, which were the rarest, were the most expensive.
French novelist Alexandre Dumas Père, known for “The Three Musketeers'' and “The Count of Monte Cristo,'' wrote a novel titled “La Tulipe noire'' in 1850, during the tulip bubble era.
The protagonist of the novel is a young man who improved the varieties of tulips.
Black tulips are more of a deep purple or deep brown color.
The most popular black tulip is “Queen of Night”. Also, the “Black Hero,'' which have double flowers, and the “Black Parrot,'' which have uniquely shaped petals are sold on markets.
"Black Hero" tulips are planted in the Tamago no Mori Flower Garden, too.
