Wild Romance

“Come and see, I have something beautiful” was what I read in an unexpected app from bulb grower Smit from 't Zand. “I’ll be with you tomorrow morning around head time” I texted back. When I turned onto the path I saw her standing there, at least that’s what I thought. Among his many new Tulips there was one that was just a little bit bigger than the rest with a truly phenomenally beautiful white colour, while it wasn’t completely white. And indeed, when I walked with Bart and Lex between the Tulips they stopped at this Tulip. Sold I said right away, I want to offer this Tulip to my customers in the Fluwel webshop. Just wait a few more years Carlos, first build up a stock, we actually just wanted to ask you if you could think of a good name for this Tulip. Then we can have her registered. I racked my brains but I couldn’t think of a suitable name for this breathtakingly beautiful Tulip. A few years later Lex told me; Wild Romance, we called her Wild Romance. Bulls-Eye Lex, perfect name. In addition to her romantic appearance there is indeed something naughty, something daring in this Tulip. Her black stamens and that fiery red edge…a Wild Romance.
