A probe commissioned by the Dutch capital's municipality and tulip growers also found that often only one flower resembled the pictures on the packaging, and that there were fewer bulbs than advertised.
"Millions of tourists and day-trippers are being duped," KAVB chairman Rene le Clercq said in a statement. Vendors not only sell tulip bulbs but also narcissus, snowdrops, carnations, violets, peonies and orchids. Of the bulbs bought from the rows of stalls along a main road in Lisse, only 2% ever bloomed, the KAVB said.
