Parrot tulips in a tulip vase from 1610

That was the time when there was a tulpomania in Holland and bulbs were traded for 1000 ‚dollars‘ a piece. The vase was inherited , twice, and was made in Delft at the time. I love these tulips and they are later bloomers than the others.
A day of activity, house cleaning and the visit of a friend. A first hug since 14 months....
