This is a podcast all about tulips! For an art project I paint 99 tulips who played a role in an extraordinary event in 17th century Holland; the tulip mania. For this project I do a lot of research. 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.
Join me in discovering the world of the tulip!
