Notes: Traces the origins of the Dutch tulipmania from the early interest of the Ottoman Turks to the rising trading class in Holland. Recounts the development of the mania, the pricing of the bulbs (exotic to not so rare) and the subsequent crash. Also notes the legacy in terms of further, but less dramatic and consequential, speculations in flowers up to the most recent 1985 craze in China for "red spider lilly" bulbs (ju zi lan, or Lycoris radiata).
