The Latin name is Tulipa. In the time of Tulipmania in Holland, 1634 - 1637, the multicoloured, intricate lines and flame like streaks on the petals were vivid and spectacular and made these bulbs highly sought after. It is now known that this effect is due to the bulbs being infected with a type of tulip specific mosaic virus, known as the 'Tulip breaking virus', because it 'breaks' the one petal colour into two or more colours, creating exotic looking flowers.
