Flowering bulbs, The Netherlands (2015)

It is always amazing to see the endless rows of tulips in Spring, colourful fields full of them. Although most of the fields are in the northern part of the province of Noord-Holland, these were found near the town of Noordwijk.

Somehow white tulips seem to be more delicate than the other colours. They are never truly white and usually have a bit of yellow in them. These white ones we saw at De Leeweg near the town of Noordwijk in the Netherlands.

Hyacinths are one of the most wanted flower bulbs after tulips and they come in a variety of colours, blue being the most beautiful I think. These blue ones we found at De Leeweg near the town of Noordwijk in the Netherlands.

Usually the daffodils bloom earlier than tulips but if timed right they can be seen both. We were lucky to find this invasion of the daffodils on the Gooweg near the town of Noordwijkerhout in the Netherlands.

Pink is quite a common colour for tulips and here near the village of De Engel near Lisse in the Netherlands we found large fields full of them. We really liked the pink ones.

As a colour for tulips, the purple ones are quite unusual. We were surprised there were so many of them, but apparently there is a market for them. These were found at the Prinsenweg near the village of Teylingen in the Netherlands.
