The Breathtaking Tulip

Although tulips are often associated with the Netherlands, commercial cultivation of the flower began in the Ottoman Empire. The origan of the name from Otterman tulbend meaning muslin or gause, although this is thought to have derived from dulbanb a Persian word meaning round. The variegated varieties admired during the Dutch tilipomania gained their delicatley feathered patterns from an infection with the tulip breaking virus, a mosaic virus that was carried by the green peach aphid. The virus produced fantastic flowers, but also created weakened plants making them likely to die. The mosaic virus is almost eradicated today.
