About Spring Flowers
A crocus pushing through cold soil is one of the more quietly stubborn things in nature. Tulips traveled from the Ottoman Empire to Western Europe in the 1500s, and by the 1630s the Dutch had built a full-blown speculative market around them, with single rare bulbs changing hands for sums that rivaled a craftsman's annual wages. Daffodils have been a staple of American gardens since the colonial era, and it's still hard to walk past a good stand of them in April without stopping.
