And Tulipa KLM was born! Frederique van der Wal, who owns the lifestyle and flower brand ‘ Frederique’s Choice’, was invited to take part in the naming ceremony with KLM President & CEO Peter Hartman. So, when KLM celebrated its 90th birthday two years ago in October, and Keukenhof celebrated its 60th anniversary in the same year, the idea arose to name a tulip after KLM. Today the Netherlands is famous for its cultivated tulips and is one of the leading exporters of tulips and tulip bulbs.Īs a Dutch airline, KLM couldn’t really remain without a tulip. But it is certain that thousands of small speculators not only lost all their money but most of what they owned as well, as a significant part of the trading was in the form of goods such as cows, fruit wine, silver, horses, houses, paintings, land, etc. The amounts that were lost in tulip speculation are not known. The plague that struck the Netherlands in those days was seen as God’s punishment for the tulip trade. They had surrendered to the pagan goddess Flora, the goddess of flowers in Roman mythology. The writers of the pamphlets felt that the florists were neglecting their religion out of greed. A stream of pamphlets, with often a harsh or sarcastic tone, warned against such practices.
Many citizens saw speculation as a form of gambling and therefore as a serious sin. But it was at that time that public opinion turned against the tulip speculators.
In the winter of 1636/1637 about 5,000 people were involved in the tulip trade, about 1% of the workforce.
It was sold for 6,000 guilders, the price of a canal house. A record was the sale of the famous tulip bulb Semper Augustus. At the time, eight fat pigs cost 240 guilders. In 1635, forty tulip bulbs were sold for 100,000 guilders. Six harvests later – a tulip takes seven years to blossom – the tulip had become all the rage.
After a burglary in the Hortus, the tulip spread all over the country and became widely known. The first tulips were introduced in 1593 after a Flemish botanist sent some bulbs to his friend, a fellow botanist at the Hortus Botanicus at Leiden University in the Netherlands. The tulip was introduced to Europe in the mid-16th century from the Ottoman Empire and became very popular in the Republic of the United Provinces, now the Netherlands. So how did it get so popular in the Netherlands? If you think of the Netherlands, you think of KLM :), cheese, clogs, windmills and… tulips! Around 800,000 people a year visit Keukenhof, which is the largest bulb flower park in the world and, because of its millions of flowers, one of the most popular destinations in the Netherlands.
