From the days of Tulipmania in the 17th century, a true broken tulip.

Zomerschoon - pronounced "ZOMM-er-skohn" means "summer beauty" and was one of the most expensive tulips of the day. A single bulb sold for a fortune at auction. Illustrated sale catalogs from the period, now housed in a museum in the Netherlands, feature this variety with its strawberries-and-cream coloring that is both dramatic and sophisticated.
