In the olden days, when we were still living in Amsterdam, we had a little 'home away from home' smack in the middle of the bulbfields by the dunes in Egmond. This field started 5 feet from my window. Spectacular views for a couple of weeks a year!

Dutch bulbfields -
Tulip stems have few leaves. Larger species tend to have multiple leaves. Plants typically have two to six leaves, some species up to 12. The tulip's leaf is cauline (born on a stem), strap-shaped, with a waxy coating, and the leaves are alternate (alternately arranged on the stem), diminishing in size as the further up the stem. These fleshy blades are often bluish-green in colour.[3][4][5]The bulbs are truncated basally and elongated towards the apex, on the outside they are covered with a thin tunic, that is lined with hairs on the inside, but occasionally glabrous.
Sunday 15th of April we had the warmest day in April ever.
And I have never seen the bulbfields so beautiful!
