Keukenhof Tulip Gardens- Netherlands
Landon and the two-toned tulips When we found out we were visiting the Netherlands in March and April, we had two things on our must-do list- windmills and tulips. We visited the Kinderdijk windmills, and waited as long as we could to see the tulips to wait for them to bloom. The early bulb flowers were out in March, but we waited until tulips started to show themselves throughout the cities I visited before we spent the day in a giant tulip garden. I was surprised so many varieties were bloomed, and there were more that were not quite there bloomed yet. Keukenhof is one of the largest flower gardens in the world. Seven million bulbs are planted in the 72 acre garden each year. 800 different varieties of tulips are displayed in the garden. They bloom mid-March through mid-May. I was surprised by the amazing variety of colors and types of flowers in the garden. Daffodils Trying to get a good shot for the calendar competition... I loved these red tulips above wit...
