During the 1600s, the tulip held a very special place in the world.  Can you imagine people spending about a year's salary to buy tulip bulbs?  They were so valuable that some people mortgaged their houses to buy them!  Growing tulips seemed like a quick way to get rich.  Hana's father certainly has made money selling the bulbs.  But times are changing.  Has the time passed for making a living selling flowers?
