Once upone a time, tulips were so desired that for one bulb "the seller was reported to receive two loads of wheat, four fat oxen, eight fat pigs, twelve fat sheep, two hogheads of wine, four barrels of beer, two barrels of butter, a thousand pounds of cheese, a bed, a suit of clothes, and a silver beaker." Although "tulipomania" will never reach the frenzied heights of seventeenth-century Holland, tulips today are one of the most popular spring-flowering bulbs. The Netherlands alone grows at least three billion tulip bulbs each year. Clay Perry is one of the world's most highly acclaimed flower and garden photographers. He has illustrated seventeen books, which have been published worldwide. The Tulips 2004 Calendar highlights twelve of his breathtaking photographs of tulips, including such varieties as the flamboyantly ruffled Parrot tulip and the mysteriously colored Viridiflora tulip. Clay's amazing images could very well start tulip fever once again.
