OTTAWA, May 10, 2012 /CNW/ - Donated as a gift by the Netherlands, this unique and rare variety of tulip was developed specially to honor the Dutch painter. It is one of the many varieties that comprise the 32,000 tulips planted by the National Capital Commission (NCC). The Van Gogh tulip has bloomed just as the National Gallery is preparing to open its blockbuster summer show Van Gogh: Up Close, on view from May 25 to September 3, 2012.
