TULIP ORIGINS in Europe are frequently attributed to Turkey or Persia, but the substantial trading activity of the East India Company (and its botanist’s avid collections, and botanical diffusions) in Japan at the time of the appearance of tulips in Europe, combined with the avid and advanced horticultural practices in Edo period Japan make the tulip a probable item of horticultural exchange.
