style=\"font-size: 11pt; color: #333333;\">The story of tulips is quite interesting. According to tulip history, the flowers grew wild in Central Asia and were first cultivated around 1,000 AD by the Turkish people. They were introduced in Vienna and beyond in the 1500s. Historians say tulips became popular in part because of their flamboyant appearance, and intense and varied colors, such as the yellow and white flame-like streaks on bright red, yellow or purple flowers. In the 1630s in the Netherlands, tulip bulb prices rose rapidly as demand increased and speculators entered the market. This is sometimes referred to as \u201ctulip mania\u201d or \u201ctulip fever.\u201d The bubble burst in February 1637, but that was not the end of the connection between tulips and the Netherlands. In 2014, the country exported 2 billion tulips. The Netherlands grows numerous other flowers, and accounts for about 60% of the world\u2019s supply of flower bulbs.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; color: #333333;\">Our second stop was in the Netherlands to see these beautiful flowers. Unfortunately, it was cold, rainy and a little too early to see many fields of tulips in bloom. No loss,<span class=\"apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.keukenhof.nl\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Keukenhof<span
