420 my bday
whenever i hear “viceroy” i think star wars.
Omg I’ve been on the bridge you were on in the beginning!
Ottawa, Canada has an annual tulip festival every year because we sheltered Dutch royalty during (one of) the World Wars and they supplied us the tulips to thank us for it (unsure if they still do). It is one of the prettiest things I’ve ever seen.
This was the first vlogbrothers video I ever watched
YOU BLINKED! WTF!
I believe the Semper Augustus was the tulip to end all tulips during the mania… The documentary “The Botany of Desire” devotes nearly half an hour to tulips and the ensuing mania…
Thank you so much for doing this video, John! I’m working on a short story for my fiction writing class, about a black market tulip thief in 1600s Paris. I’ve been doing a lot of research into tulipomania, and my roommate mentioned this video, which I had somehow forgotten about.
What sources did you get your research from?

“Don’t worry, this won’t hit me” X3
“EXCEPT for Henry.. but ya know, he’s portable.” hahaha!!!
Woah, I just started reading Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister by Gregory Maguire and, if you’ve read it, it’s allllllllllllll about the Tulips in Haarlem, Holland ^-^
DFTBA!!
i have been to amsterdam….and i loved it there. it was so beautiful and the people there were so nice. i would love to go back there someday
You will definitely not regret buying Katrina’s book. Lovely.
random nerdnote The House of Windjammer is a book kind-of-basically revolving around tulips and their bulbs
If I’m thinking of the same streaks of color, there is still a genetically modified version of these tulips that had the mosaic virus called Rembrandt tulips.
Hey everyone!!!
I just graduated COLLEGE!!! WOOOOHOOOO!!
