The Roots of Tulip Mania:
So, what is the story with the tulip mania? Well, as some may be aware, the tulip is a national symbol of the Netherlands. The country is affectionately known by some as “the flower shop of the world.” If you’ve ever been to the Netherlands, you’ve probably seen some or visited some of the beautifully cultivated fields of colorful tulips lining the landscape of the Dutch countryside. There are countless tulip museums and tulip festivals are still celebrated annually throughout the country. The Dutch people even took their love of tulips abroad when emigrating from their homeland, starting up tulip festivals in places like New York (which Holland.com points out was originally known as New Amsterdam) and in the town aptly named Holland located in the U.S. state of Michigan.
Despite this near obsession with tulips, the flower is not native to the Netherlands. They are actually native to the Pamir and Tan Shan mountain ranges located in Central Asia primarily in modern-day Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, and Afghanistan. They were brought to the Netherlands in the late-16th century from the Ottoman Empire where the flower had been cultivated for decades prior.
A botanist by the name of Carolus Clusius who in the 1590s had begun an important botanical garden at the University of Leiden, was one of the first to really pioneer the cultivation of tulips in the Netherlands. He had his own private garden in which he planted numerous bright and beautiful tulips and devoted much of his later life to studying the tulip and the mysterious phenomenon known as tulip breaking.

The European affinity, and Dutch especially, to tulips links to the Ottoman Empire, specifically the reign of Suleyman the Magnificent. Tulip was widely cultivated in the Imperial gardens, and during the artistic expansion of Suleyman's reign, incorporated into the Ottoman art decorating the Palace, mosques, and attires. The tulip defined the Ottoman imperialism and was embraced by the West as the form of height of luxury.
The subsequent increase in demand for tulips (i.e. luxuries) by European nobility led to speculative ventures, culminating in the famed Tulip bulb bubble in Amsterdam.
Nice Job!
