Dutch heritage tulips Tanja Moderscheim

A living collection of rare Dutch heritage tulips and Fritillaria is cultivated specifically for the paintings. Some cultivars date to the very period in which Dutch flower painting and tulip speculation shaped European visual culture. The Zomerschoon tulip, introduced in 1620, is the jewel of the collection.
