A journey through time with ninetynine tulips 

Discover the ‘Ninetynine Tulips’ collection, a tribute to the mesmerizing era of Tulipmania in the 17th century. These aren’t just historic tulips; they’re living artifacts of a moment when their beauty captivated society, and a single bulb could command a king’s ransom. What makes these tulips truly extraordinary? 

Beyond beauty: a tapestry of human endeavor 

Each tulip in our collection tells a tale. From the dreams of merchants to the competition between the gardeners, these flowers were at the heart of stories of ambition, desire, and folly. They witnessed the birth of modern financial markets and became the stars in the first act of economic speculation. Yet, to see them only as symbols of a financial bubble is to miss the forest for the trees. 

The cryptocurrency of the 17th century? 

Indeed, in their time, these tulips represented what cryptocurrency means to us today: a new frontier in value, speculation, and the human quest for beauty and status. However, their legacy is richer, woven into the fabric of Dutch culture, influencing culture, art, gardening, and even the very concept of luxury.
