17th century semper Augustus



In the 17 century when buyers in the Netherlands were going crazy for tulip bulbs, creating the first speculative market and subsequent crash as mentioned. All of the coveted bulbs, the Semper Augustus was a garnet flame vividly streaked on white petals. It is very extraordinary for its beauty. It is very rare and expensive if you ever find one.
