Inspiration
The colorful spring season in Colonial Williamsburg includes thousands of tulips in a rainbow of colors, heralding the return of warmer weather! From the large and glorious display of tulips in the Governor's Palace Gardens to smaller gardens such as the Alexander Craig Garden, you will find every color and variety of tulip in the Historic Area.
In 1730, Robert Furber, an English nurseryman, published an unusual flower catalogue. On each of its twelve pages, he illustrated graceful arrangements of flowers grouped according to the month in which they bloom. Four hundred varieties, all of which could be purchased in London nurseries, were accurately illustrated and identified. Intended as a sales catalog, the "Twelve Months of Flowers" was an immediate artistic success and has been treasured for almost 300 years. John Custis IV had extensive gardens in Williamsburg, and publications such as Furber's Flowers provided inspiration for varieties to plant, including many types of tulips.
