Tulips in Jerusalem.

Dutch Donation Adds
Color To Jerusalem

SANDRA COHEN

Special to The Jewish News

erusalem, in April, is
always a visual delight.
For a Jerusalem
springtime gives birth to
100,000 tulips, sheathing the
city's gardens with a tapestry
of brilliant color.
The bulbs, which arrive in
the autumn, are sent from
Holland. There, after the
1973 Yom Kippur War, the
Holland-Israel Committee
was established, whose aim
was to place political pressure
on the Dutch parliament to
support Israel. 'Ibday, the
committee numbers 5,000
politicians and laymen, 95
percent of them Christian.
They are an active, vocal
group, donating to Israel's
hospitals, demonstating for
the right to emigrate to
Israel, and petitioning
members of parliament.
After the passage of the
Jerusalem Law (which ex-
tended Israeli sovereignty to
all of Jerusalem), when most
countries reacted by moving
their embassies out of the
capital, the committee decid-
ed to express solidarity with
Jerusalem by sending
100,000 tulip bulbs. In 1982
the first ceremonious plan-
ting took place in Bloomfield
Gardens in the presence of
Mayor Teddy Kollek. "Every
year since then," said
Jerusalem's Chief of Protocol,
Ephraim Cohen Aharonoff,
"the bulbs punctually arrive
and are then planted in

gardens throughout the city."
Five months later, they
bloom: Burgundy Lace,
Pomona, Renown, Avanti,
Kingsblood, Ice Follies — an
eight-week festival of wine
and cherry reds, pinks, whites
and primrose yellows.
Though the wild tulip has
grown for centuries in Israel,
it was first cultivated as a
garden flower in Turkey
about the beginning of the
16th century. Seeds, and
possibly bulbs, were brought
to Vienna; these were the
principal ancestors of the
garden tulips of today. They
tulip soon appeared in
Holland and England, and by
the 17th century, in France
and even Russia.
It is interesting, and almost
amusing, to note that in the
1630s in Holland the flower
became the object of gambling
and speculation. Fortunes
were won and lost over the
sale of bulbs. The craze
renewed itself a hundred
years later. In Turkey, where
passion for the flower was no
less intense, bulbs of choice
varieties commanded high
prices, and magnificent tulip
festivals were held annually
at the court of the Sultan.
The oldest variety still ob-
tainable is probably the
Keiserscroon, said to date
from 1680. And the name
"tulip" comes from the an-
cient Persian toliban and the
Turkish dulban, a turban. It
is believed the "Rose of
Sharon" in the Songs of
Solomon was actually a tulip.
