The
tulips have been wonderful in every garden this spring including Sian’s.
Yesterday day the song ‘Tulips from Amsterdam’ popped into my head!
The late
great Max Bygraves enjoyed a big hit with the song, reached #3 in the UK charts
in 1958 and stayed there for twenty five weeks!
When it's spring again I'll bring again
Tulips from Amsterdam
With a heart that's true I'll give to you
Tulips from Amsterdam
Enjoy entire the song here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ors-eZeeJ0U
The word tulip first mentioned in Western Europe in or
around 1554 and seemingly derived from the "Turkish Letters" of diplomat
Ogier Ghiselin de Busbecq.
Cultivation of the tulip began in Persia, probably in the
10th century.
