Certainly Keukenhof is a world away from Amsterdam, though the bus only took about 45 min. We took the highway through Haarlem to Lisse where an old kitchen garden has become the world’s most famous spring garden.
There are more than 4 million tulip bulbs planted here, and 3 million other bulbs as well. In addition, there were lovely trees and many rhododendrons, most of which had not come into bloom. We were fortunate that the spring is about 3 weeks delayed, making the gardens still at their prime. Many of the late tulips are still coming, so anyone who is planning a trip here before the May 20 closing, will still have a marvellous show.
I have chosen today’s photo to show me behind one of my favourite tulips. If you are interested in seeing the other approximately 150 photos from the Keukenhof, you will need to come to my Netherlands photo evening. I will send the time info in a few days.
Happy spring to all!
