Ok this has got to be one of my favorite episodes of EH yet. I recently got my bachelors degree in Biology with my area of interest being Botany and Mycology, so I was a huge fan about how this episode focused a lot on some of the history of Botany.

Maybe something for lie’s. The use of expensive gardens with exotic green isn’t juist from tulipmania. I have visited a couple of older castles and mansions here in the Netherlands. Some of the castles have bin in constant use as housing for more than 700 years. (Link for verification https://www.glk.nl/english/seven-castles-and-houses ). And it is staple to see a couple of tree’s in the gardens that are not local. (Sometimes not even European.) It was a prestige thing to have a tree from as far away as possible. And do note that these were not trees that where planted as seeds but trees that were dug up roots and al. And than transported to be replanted. (As told by groundskeepers i have spoken to.) I have no idea how big these trees would be when shipped. But i have heard a claim that it would be a mayor part of a ship’s load (sadly i can not substantiate this by a quick google search). So my speculation would be that in a time of greater wealth. Tulips could be an extension of this practice. Especially when the wealthy were more and more in cities were you can not easily have room for a great tree’s. But if everyone knows how expansive this flower is well who need’s a tree? Edit for better reading.

In this context, I think it may be worth mentioning things like growing Pineapples, another way to display your wealth and prestige.
