Thousands of photos were made of the letters spelling out the theme for the world exhibition Floriade: “Feel the Art of Nature”. Each of these letters formed their own color scheme composed of three tulip cultivars that flowered in succession. Here is a list of the ten prettiest cultivars, ranging from early to late flowering, that could be used in a similar project sometime:

• White tulips: 'Purissima', 'Mount Tacoma', 'Maureen'
• Cream-colored tulips: 'Verona', 'Silver Dollar', ‘Maja’
• Yellow tulips: 'Yellow Purissima' , 'Monte Carlo', 'West Point'
• Yellow with red tulips: 'Queen Ingrid', 'Synaeda King', 'Flaming Parrot'
