Tulip Time in the Netherlands - Natural Beauty at Its Best
One can't travel through Holland in the spring without spotting what could quite possibly be the national flower. When the sun rises during Spring in the Netherlands, millions of eager bulbs also rise for the occasion. Acres upon endless acres of the most brilliantly exquisite tulips transform dozens of ordinary fields into a colorful kaleidoscope of hues.
Holland is one of the world's leading exporters of the exotic flower. Nearly 3 billion tulips are grown every year, and two-thirds of them are exported.
Farmers plant the bulbs in late October and early November, and then they are harvested in May.
Late April and early May are the most beautiful blooming tulip fields.
Tulpentijd in de Noordoostpolder
Bij tulpenvelden denken we vooral aan de Bollenstreek, maar de meeste tulpen van heel Nederland staan tegenwoordig in de Noordoostpolder (ruim 2000 hectare).
Stel je eens voor...... rechte polderwegen, rechte kavels, rechte sloten rondom de kavels, aan de rand van de wegen staan bomen. Er zitten al knoppen aan de bomen, want het is lente. En als je langs de bomen kijkt, over de akkers heen, zie je tulpen. Rood, geel, paars, roze, oranje, enz.
Deze foto is noordwestelijk van Emmeloord in de Noordoostpolder genomen. Daar liggen veel tulpenvelden.
