Happy Sunday
The Melbourne International Flower and Gardens Show was back in force this March 2022 after a 2 years hiatus due to Covid lockdowns.
This was taken in the morning when the sun broke through on an overcast day.
Getting to a suitable position for photography was a big task with exceptional numbers of visitors and photographers jostling for the best position.
I have to revisit a few displays for another round of shots and this tulip display is one of them.
The other problem was the fogging up of the viewfinder because of a loose fitting face mask !

Some interesting facts on Tulip.
The Dutch obsession with tulips began with Flemish botanist Carolus Clusius. When he was made director of Leiden University's new Hortus Botanicus (botanical garden) in 1593 he planted some of his own tulip bulbs. As a result, 1594 is considered the official date of tulips first blooming in Holland.
Carolus Clusius was also the first person to identify "broken tulips" which is a viral infection that caused beautiful streaks in the petals. Clusius would go on to create many new color variations of tulips.
Tulips started to become highly prized in Holland in the 1600s as some of Clusius unique tulip variations at Leiden became much sought after.
This led to a period from 1634 to 1637 known as "Tulip mania" when enthusiasm for the new flower started an economic frenzy and one of the world's first 'speculative bubbles'. The value of tulips shot up nearly overnight, they became the most expensive flower in the world, so expensive that they were treated as a form of currency.
At the peak of tulip mania certain bulbs were selling for 10 times more than the annual income of a skilled worker and a valuable tulip bulb could change hands up to ten times in a day. Tulip mania was short-lived though and the whole economy eventually crashed.
Today, the Netherlands is still the world's main producer of commercially sold tulips, producing as many as 3 billion bulbs annually, mostly for export.
Tulip petals are actually able to be eaten, during the Dutch famine of 1944 in WWII people often had to resort to eating sugar beets and tulips.

It is on, everything is in full bloom, don't miss it, gates to the event opened in mid January, and the show will go until the last petal drops and flutters to the ground. That will be late November or early December. Add some color to your life.
