The “Kamelot van Wena” is a tulip that embodies the splendor of a bygone era of The Netherlands.
With its rich red color, this tulip evokes the lush red velvet curtains that once adorned the walls of the illustrious Court of Wena.
The Court of Wena was an impressive castle in Rotterdam. The designation ‘Kamelot’ carries a historical connotation and often refers to a ‘knight’ or ‘nobleman’. In the case of the “Kamelot van Wena” tulip, we can apply this interpretation.
The tulip thus becomes a symbol of chivalrous grandeur and nobility at the Court of Wena. This tulip carries the name and heritage of a distinguished knight or nobleman, intertwined with the history of the Rotterdam castle, offering a colorful glimpse into the past.
Although the castle itself no longer exists, in the 17th century it was already a ruin, the name lives on, not only in the names of streets and cafes in Rotterdam, but also in this beautiful tulip.
The portrait of the “Kamelot van Wena”, from the ‘Ninetynine Tulips’ collection, serves as inspiration for the eponymous NFT collection. The theme of the 99 Kamelot NFT tulips is the city of ‘Rotterdam’, a tribute to the vanished Rotterdam castle and a silent reminder of the glory days of the Court of Wena.
