Black Tulip
52 in 2021 - #3 A favourite book
Two books actually, by Phillippa Gregory:
Earthly Joys
Virgin Earth
The story of John Tradescant and his son, also John. Gardeners to the mighty personages of the Stuarts, and great plant collectors. Tulips played a huge part in the history of the time, with the ongoing search for a pure black tulip, and the Dutch tulip bulb mania bubble.
