I will echo Lyric man. Was this from a movie?

Not from Movie Andrea, but from real life . One morning in 17th Cent. Holland. Tulipomania is metaphor for a large economic bubble (or babble?!) that destroyed the economic profile of Holland (Tulip Trade). Love Andrea dear.Rajat

I know the story my friend, Rajat! I am an amateur historian apart of my line of work. Of course you know that it was the Dutch that first were established in Manhattan, so I though....I didn't think you went that back in time!

It is Dutch Haarlem Demetrios. And Netherlands is the country of Tulips.Princess here is a Tulip. Tulipomania was a period in the Dutch Golden Age during which contract prices for bulbs of the tulip reached extraordinarily high levels and then suddenly collapsed.You may see this page:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulip_mania page:http://www.businessweek.com/2000/00_17/b3678084.htm/etc. for history. Love Demetrios.
