Cup-shaped bloom on a straight green stem, petals closed tight before the sun and opening wider than expected once the light is on them. Carries no scent worth describing, which every tulip-grower insists is the point.

Chronicle
Cultivated in long rows across the lowland fields east of the market town, where the bulb-families have been trading cultivars since a speculative bubble centuries back that the historians still argue was either a ruinous mania or a useful one. Every household knows at least one variety by name, and nobody will tell you whose garden it came from without a preamble. The cut flowers keep a week in clean water and a decade in the tax records of whoever bought the bulbs.
