Probably the most famous symbol of The Netherlands, the tulip and other bulb flowers actually only bloom a few weeks each year.
Although the tulip is the main symbol of The Netherlands, its origins lie in Turkey. Sample bulbs were given to a Dutch scientist in the 16th century. Once commercially minded people found out he had bulbs in his possession and didn't want to exploit their economic value, the bulbs were stolen, grown, and became a much sought-after item by many people. In perhaps the first economic boom, the value of tulip bulbs reached incredible heights even to modern standards, before the tulip-balloon was punctured after a few years - leaving some people incredibly rich, and others ruined.
