Drawing from five centuries’ worth of lavish content in the Oak Spring Garden Library's rare and antiquarian holdings in Virginia, Jason Delaney will discuss the tulip’s wild origins, its artistic historical representation, its early commercial aspects as the first speculative commodity, and its place in our gardens today.

Jason Delaney’s career includes over 20 years at Missouri Botanical Garden, advancing to be the Bulb Collections Specialist which took him all across the world from the Altai mountains of southern Siberia, the Caucasus Mountains of the Republic of Georgia, the High Atlas Mountains of Morocco, and the Changbaishan Mountains in northeastern China. Today, Jason owns and operates Professional Horticultural Services (PHS), specializing in residential garden design and maintenance; and PHS Daffodils, specializing in daffodil production. Collecting novel garden varieties and historic varieties for genetic preservation are his primary focus; he has yet to learn restraint from acquiring new bulbs annually.
