Within the ‘Ninetynine Tulips’ collection, there are five tulips that have lost their original names. Over time, these names have faded into oblivion.
These five tulips, chosen for their beauty, represent the countless tulip varieties whose names have been lost since the Tulipmania of the 17th century.
However, history has a way of repeating itself and finding new meaning: these nameless tulips have been given new names.
The tulip that was once known in the collection as “Zonder naam II, in English: Nameless II” now bears the name “Serenade in the Mist”. This name evokes an image of a flower that conjures an enchanting, misty, and musical feeling, much like the mystery of “Lochertje”.
For the “Nameless II”, the theme of the 99 NFT tulips in various art styles is ‘misty, a nod to the new name “Serenade in the Mist”. The portrait of the “Nameless II” from the ‘Ninetynine Tulips’ collection, serves as inspiration for the tulip NFTs.
