No 83. Phenix 

The ‘Phenix’ is a tulip whose name carries a deeply symbolic meaning. The name refers to the Phoenix, a mythical creature from Greek mythology known for its ability to rise from its own ashes.

The phoenix symbolizes rebirth, renewal, and immortality.

In the story of the phoenix, the creature is described as a beautiful bird with colorful plumage and a melodious song. At the end of its life cycle, the phoenix builds a nest of fragrant herbs and spices, sets it on fire, and burns to ashes. From those ashes, a new, young phoenix rises – a symbol of immortality and renewal.

Although the “Phenix” tulip does not seem to feature prominently in the annals of Tulipmania, its name suggests that it may have been a particularly noteworthy specimen. Its name alludes to the tulip’s ability to bloom a new each season – a kind of rebirth that beautifully parallels the story of the phoenix.

The NFT “Phenix” tulips in 99 different art styles have the theme ‘Phoenix’. The portrait of the Phenix from the ‘Ninetynine Tulips’ collection, serves as the inspiration for the NFTs.
