Twenty Years of Development
As you might know, it takes a really long time before a tulip can go into large scale production. The breeder of tulips will grow from seed. He makes many of those, and to see what comes out of the seed can take up to six or seven years. When the breeder likes the color, shape, and strength of the outcome, he can decide to produce more of those tulips. He does this by taking the offsets of the mother tulip. These have the same characteristics as the mother tulip. Normally only a couple of offsets come from the mother tulip, and they bloom in two years mostly. And they reproduce more offsets. So, making many more bulbs from the mother bulb takes a lot of time, at least a decade. So you know that in order to see Marco Stengs' amazing tulips, almost twenty years are in between the first seed planted and the production of this amount of tulips today. You can imagine that the tulip colors are averse to fashion. And that it is safe to say that with twenty years of development, tulips are timeless flowers.
