ENGLISH:
Keukenhof (English: "Kitchen garden"; also known as the Garden of Europe, is one of the world's largest flower gardens, situated in the municipality of Lisse, in the Netherlands. This Park covers an area of 32 hectares (79 acres) and approximately 7 million flower bulbs are planted in the gardens annually. Keukenhof is widely known for its tulips, and it also features numerous other flowers, including hyacinths, daffodils, lilies, roses, carnations and irises.
Keukenhof is located in the province of South Holland, south of Haarlem and southwest of Amsterdam in the area called the "Dune and Bulb Region" (Duin- en Bollenstreek). It is accessible by bus from Haarlem and Leiden train stations as well as Schiphol. Though its grounds are open year-round for private affairs and festivals, Keukenhof is only open to the general public for a world-renowned 8 week tulip display from mid-March to mid-May,[5] with peak viewing arriving near mid-April, depending on growing season weather, which varies annually.

Keukenhof ("Jardín de la cocina", en neerlandés), es un extenso parque de más de 32 hectáreas con inmensos jardines de tulipanes, situado entre las localidades de Lisse e Hillegom, en los Países Bajos. También conocido como "el jardín de Europa", es uno de los lugares más bellos del país. Posee una impresionante colección de flores e híbridos de diferentes especies, invernaderos (donde se venden flores, bulbos y semillas), molinos antiguos, lagos, fuentes y grandes paseos. Todo el complejo tiene un bello tratamiento artístico por lo que las flores y lagos se convierten en la base de sus inmensas avenidas. Los terrenos del parque se encontraban dentro de las posesiones de la noble Jacoba de Baviera y se dice que fue ella misma quien le puso nombre, en uno de sus habituales paseos por la zona, con ese nombre al identificar la fragancia de las hierbas y especias con la cocina de su palacio. Tras su muerte los terrenos pasaron a manos de ricas familias de comerciantes que, conscientes de su atractivo, en el año 1840 encargaron a diversos pintores paisajistas un primer diseño de lo que sería el futuro parque. Para ello los autores se inspiraron fuertemente en el estilo inglés imperante en la época y utilizaron las flores como elemento esencial del diseño.
A bright 1 C morning, and I went out to the Rembrandtpark in the West of Amsterdam for a breath of fresh air. Everything still wintry gray and brown.
But then suddenly in the undergrowth a patch of Winter Aconite, Eranthis hyemalis, sprouting from dead land to delight my heart. In a few days these flowers will open up...

Amsterdam 😍 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That's a photo from my recent trip with Claude. We've been lucky enough, that the sky cleared up a bit during the night so that we could do some night-time shots. And the city is simply perfect for that, offering you so many beautiful views along the channels. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've traveled to quite a few capitals in Europe recently, but Amsterdam immediately found itself high up on our "return asap" list.
