Cultivation methods of Tipu:

Some of the illustrations of the historical cultivations are "feathered", "flamed", or variegated flower. Some modern varieties are with some distention features like multicolored patterns, which results from a natural change in the upper and lower layers of pigment in the tulip flower. Historical variegated varieties- such as those admired in the Dutch tulip mania gained their delicately feathered patterns from a viral infection. The Black Tulip was the title of a historical romance by Alexandre Dumas (1850), in which the city of Haarlem has a reward outstanding for the first grower who can produce a truly black tulip.
