And as I learn, I want to share the stories with you. I dive into the history of the tulip and talk of events from long ago, and I tell present day tulip stories. I talk about the role of the tulip in Dutch culture and Dutch art. I speak about tulip gardening and about the present day tulip trade in the Netherlands.
