	Tulip Fever » Tulip History
		A significant percentage of the tulips cultivated in the Netherlands originated from areas now considered part of Russia, around the Black Sea, in the Crimea, and from the steppes located north of the Caucasus.
		The famous flamed (virused) tulips now known as “Rembrandt tulips” were not a favored subject of the painter.
		Not surprisingly these are often called “wooly tulips.” Given this natural proclivity for high places, it is all the more remarkable that the Dutch should become known for growing tulips.

	0754004406 - Tulip Fever (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Deborah Moggach's Tulip Fever reads like a soap opera from the 17th Century: characters are on the surface, motives are obvious but hidden, and plots are far out.
		The tulip mania that gripped the city so badly is portrayed as a flirty business, dangerous to gamble on, but irresistible because of the beauty of the tulip in bloom.
		Although the tulip trade is not the central focus of the book, Moggach skillfully weaves it into the tale along with the cultural mores and frustrations of Amsterdam society and draws a clever parallel between tulip fever and the risks that people are willing to take to achieve happiness.

		The tulipomania that gripped 17th-century Europe was a form of futures trading, as people purchased tulip bulbs at increasingly inflated prices with the hope that they would flower into the most beautiful and kaleidoscopic colors imaginable.
		Tulip is an extraordinary book, beautifully illustrated and offering a fascinating story of our obsession with the most ephemeral of objects.
		After the tulip's financial bubble burst, it's popularity was sustained by countless garden clubs in northern Europe, especially in England, leading to the explosion we see today in tulip hybridization surpassed, I suspect by only the business in rose hybrids.

		"c17th Amsterdam, a city in the grip of tulip mania and basking in the wealth it has generated.
		Cornelis, an ageing merchant, commissions a talented young painter to preserve his status and marriage on canvas...but as the portrait grows, so does the passion between Sophia [Cornelis' wife] and the artist; and as ambitions, desires and dreams breed an intricate deception, their reckless gamble propels their lives towards a thrilling and tragic conclusion."
		Certainly "Tulip Fever" was readable enough and interesting about the whole history of the period, the household hierarchies, the painting and the craziness of tulip fever itself, but it's desperately sketchy and not something we would recommend.
