Tulips

Hellooo!! How nice of you to stop by. It is a very sunny, warm day and I’ve had a wonderful weekend. In this part of Holland the bulb fields are really starting to get their beautiful colours. Yesterday I went to a flower garden, where you could pick your own tulips.

You just walk along the field, and choose your own flowers. Then you pull them out with bulb and all, and put them in your bucket.

Now they are at home in a beautiful vase.

In the fall I can put the bulbs in the ground, so next spring,  we will have beautiful tulips in our garden.

  2. I think I would need a bucket of each colour...so hard to choose which ones I like the best. They are all glorious. I have never heard of a tulip farm like that..we have pick your own strawberries and apples here! We bought some Edam cheese from Holland here today..it made me think of you and the cheese markets in Alkmaar..I wonder if it was from there?
