The tulip is the most cultivated bulb in the Netherlands. Almost half of all bulb fields (more than 12,000 hectares) are planted with tulips. (source: CBS 2016).
Tulips were introduced to the Western world by the Viennese ambassador to Turkey, Ogier Gisleen van Busbeke, who wrote about the flowers he saw in 1551 in Edirne, Turkey. Later, he sent some seeds of them to Austria.
The arrival of a shipment of tulip bulbs in 1562 in Antwerp marked the beginning of European tulip cultivation. The first documented specimens were planted by the Fleming Carolus Clusius in the Hortus botanicus Leiden Hortus, which he led from 1593.
