Anyway, we are not like before with ox hearts (Tulipa sp.) I went crazy. Not much less!
The traces or bulbs that change at this time of the year will provide some five months with ox hearts: on the threshold of spring, when the tents and rods are annoying, when the prolongation of daylight is evident, at the time when the impetus of the owls of the cavities of the body lightens the smile and the head. It's not uncommon for the ox's heart to be in the heart. A colorful party of that size is a luxury. Also today, because almost anything can be put at our fingertips even when we live in a stupid environment. Luxury. We are planting what is going to be a wonder.
As they left, now, four hundred years ago. It is said that in Flanders plants were brought from the Constantinople stratum, from which huge buey heart-shaped flowers with mixtures of unknown colors are detached. After a few years, madness broke out and it was neither Miss nor Miss who did not have those flowers. So our shipowners went there with money for the most famous painter of the time to paint his portrait. Vanity here and there.
Blinded by profusion, the newest ox's heart, the most eye-catching, the weirdest, had more appreciation than gold. Those who lived in the waterfalls brought the value of the ox's heart to those foams. And madness came. In the same way that the economic crisis we live today comes from valuing much more than things are worth (houses, money, debts…), in the seventeenth century the same happened with the hearts of ox. Those flowers had lifted the madness and sold them before producing the bulbs that produced it. They paid a fortune in return because they believed that they were a future value. “Tulipmania” was called in Dutch Tulpenwoede, heart of ox mania. The unknown flower had become a coveted luxury. The large sums of money, which would provide a single flower at the auctions, were paid immensely. Whim and helmet. P. Haarlem According to the catalog of the 1637 hill of Cos, a “Viseroij” type bulb could not be purchased with the money a skilled craftsman earned for twenty years.
