 20 years ago was discovered by accident one double Orange Emperor Tulip in a field with some copies. The Tulip was cultivated, further in-depth and on a separate field what 20 years later resulted in enough copies to provide these of an official name. All this time is the Tulip remained double, which means that this has twice as many leaves as a regular Tulip, and the intense orange color is preserved.
