The genus Tulipa devides into about 75 species, which are further grouped into four subgenera. The different tulip species are originally from steppes and mountainous areas in temperate climates in a region between Central Asia and Southern Europe. However, they have been widely cultivated and, after escaping cultivation, naturalised in other parts of Europa and Asia as well as other parts of the world. Tulips are believed to have been cultivated in from the 10th century and in Europe around the so called "Tulip mania", starting in 1634. During that time, tulips were extremely fashionable and their bulbs became the supposedly first speculation item. The resulting financial bubble collapsed just three years later, in February 1637.
