Dr. Fleischer introduced us to important gardens and told fascinating details of the tulip craze, including how the virus affected the coloration.
This lecture presentation of the preeminence of tulips among the Dutch people's love for gardens and flowers was interesting, informative and entertaining. The talk was very well organized and equally well paced--perfect for 90 minutes.
