Sorry - cant get photos in.. I will keep trying
This is so beautiful I thought you would enjoy the colors and the signs of warmer weather- I hope this works, the photo's are stunning!!
The Netherlands in May
At first glance, it looks like a giant child armed with a box of crayons has been set loose upon the landscape.
Vivid stripes of purple, yellow, red, pink, orange and green make up a glorious patchwork. Yet far from being a childs sketchbook, this is, in fact, the northern Netherlands in the middle of tulip season. The Dutch landscape in May is a kaleidoscope of color as the tulips burst into life. The bulbs are planted in late October and early November. More than three billion tulips are grown each year & two-thirds of the vibrant blooms are exported, mostly to the U.S. and Germany .
HOLLAND PRODUCES MORE THAN 9 BILLION TULIPS A YEAR
