Tulips are elegant flowers that add colour to bulb fields in spring. A favourite flower at home and abroad.
Origin
Tulips are native to the area that has come to be known as Kazakhstan. The genus' range extends from the Iberian Peninsula through North Africa to Greece, the Balkans, Turkey, the Middle East, Syria, Israel, Lebanon, Jordan, Iran, Ukraine, southern Siberia, Mongolia and north-western China. However, the greatest diversity is found in three mountain ranges in Central Asia: the Pamir, the Tiensyan and Hindu Kush. The climate in these three mountain regions is characterised by a cold winter that allows vernalisation to occur, a long spring with cold nights and a dry summer. Such a climate is ideal for tulips.
This tulip in black and white with a Clair obscura design gives a light and fragile feel despite the darkness.
