During Tulipomania in the 1630s, this crown-like tulip of burgundy and ivory was traded for enormous sums. Today 'Lac van Rijn' (say: Lock von Rhine) may still seem expensive _ but what else can you own from 1620 that costs so little? And since it multiplies happily with good care, it's a smart garden investment. (We'll be glad to explain that to your spouse.) Single Early, 14", zones 4b-7a(8aWC)
