El Nino

If you like big, impressive and colorful, El Nino is the Tulip for you. She is just as big and impressive as her sister, the slightly more famous Elegant Lady, which shows somewhat softer colors.

They are by far the largest tulips we offer. Not only are they at the top in terms of height, the flower size is also unmatched. The beauty of El Nino, and also of Elegant Lady, is that despite their enormous size they do not compromise on elegance. They keep their graceful beauty until the last day of their long flowering. A ripe flower of El Nino that opens in the sunlight shows a spectacular display of color and size.

It is interesting to know that El Nino is Spanish for 'the little boy', but I suspect that this impressive Tulip El Nino is named after the rare natural phenomenon in which the water of the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Peru becomes warmer than normal, causing prolonged rain in South America.
