Tulip Season in the Netherlands“ A Floral Paradise”
A special friend of mine, Aimee Alvarez, visited the Netherlands recently. Here I will share some of her beautiful photos up close and personal. During spring, certain parts of the Netherlands is transformed into a vast sea of flowers from mid March to mid May. It starts with crocus season in March, which is followed by daffodils and hyacinths. Finally the tulips show their gorgeous colors, from mid April through early May.
Its long spring season with cool nights makes the Netherlands the perfect country for tulip growing. The soil in the polders is continuously drained, creating perfect growing conditions for tulip bulbs transforming the topography into a beautiful patchwork quilt of flowers.
The Keukenhof, the world’s biggest flower exhibition, is famed for its many tulips and is just a 15 minute drive away from Leiden and 30 minutes from Amsterdam. FloraHolland is the world’s biggest flower auction located in Aalsmeer, just 30 minutes by car from Amsterdam and can be visited year-round. Thank you Aimee for sharing your art with us.
