In Amsterdam, the arrival of January not only heralds the onset of the new year but also signifies the official commencement of the tulip-cutting season a period during which the Netherlands honors its national flower, the tulip, on National Tulip Day. The year 2024 is no different, as Dutch tulip growers extend an invitation for people to join in the celebration of this special day alongside them.
The new tulip was personally selected by Hardwell and presented by the Dutch cut tulip growers, Tulip Promotion Netherland (TPN). TPN’s President, Arjan Smit pointed out that in line with this year’s National Tulip Day theme, it would be ideal that they pay tribute to the popular DJ. (thursd.com)
Arjan Smit: ”It is a very good reason for us to pay tribute to Hardwell with his own tulip. He is one of the most popular DJs in the world, and his shows are, just like the tulip, full of energy. Tulips even have the unique ability to ‘dance’ a little in the vase. They continue to grow for a while, and each flower turns in the direction it wants. The new ‘Hardwell’ tulip, with a unique flower shape and color scheme, will be presented to the public for the first time on National Tulip Day”.
“I’m proud of my Dutch heritage, and so I’m truly honored to have a tulip named after me,” Hardwell said in a statement shared with EDM.com
