Dutch tulips
Amsterdam's iconic blooms
Dutch tulips are tulip flowers associated with the Netherlands, where they became culturally and economically significant.
The term often evokes the tulip mania of the 1630s, when speculation drove bulb prices to extraordinary heights before the market collapsed—now a byword for speculative bubbles: Crypto skeptics called it Dutch tulips all over again.
