Tulips History

This allmost black tulip in the middle would make you a very rich man in 1635.

Hi Stefan. No I did not know all that good Dutch history, though of course I knew that the tulip is a dutch icon. All the people up at the farm were dressed in traditional dutch costume - and CLOGS!

About the trading of share, I am not so sure. I think that the Swedes would lay claim to the first common stock company - Stora Koppaberg, founded in 1288 when they first started mining copper.

Thanks for your comment
