THIS is what’s going on in Holland’s Keukenhof gardens as we speak. The 79-acre Keukenhof, an hour south of Amsterdam, may be the world’s most spectacular trade show — an annual explosion of 7 million flowering bulbs showcasing the offerings of Dutch bulb suppliers.
The cheery floral galaxy lasts this year until May 21. Keukenhof is open to the public, and draws 3/4 million visitors from around the world. If you can’t make it this year, check out my pictures taken last April, below. (Feel free to lift them – they make great screen savers!)
Luscious! Thanks for sharing these on this rainy day!
What ARE those amazing trees?
They’re European beech trees. The Keukenhof has 2,200 of them. Most of them are 150 years old and dying, and they’re gradually being replaced with young ones.
Ahhhhh!! Inspirational!!! Love the muscari rivers.
