Symbolism, Folklore, and Fact: Historically, tulips were declarations of love and were unattainable by the bourgeois, due to their rarity and expense. In the middle ages, the Didier’s Tulip was more valuable than jewels. At the peak of tulip mania, in February 1637, some tulip bulbs sold for more than 10 times the annual income of a skilled artisan.
