K - Keukenhof Gardens, Netherlands
Tulips. Tulips. More tulips. And beautiful gardens. And sculpture. This was just a wonderful afternoon. I visited the Keukenhof Gardens on the last weekend they were open for the season.
Pictures of flowers are worth thousands of words. I still remember the sight of the vast flower fields in bloom as I flew over the Netherlands into Schipol Airport one year in April. It was like the largest patchwork quilt I have ever seen.

After 45 years of gardening, I am at the keeping my plants away from animals that want to eat them. Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteThis would definitely be on my "must visit" list. Stunning! Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteI am glad I made the trip to see it. The window for visiting in the spring is short and the weather is not the greatest, but the gardens are really stunning.
DeleteI've always wanted to see this. Denise, can you bring any of the bulbs home? Or will they ship?
ReplyDeleteI saw bulbs for sale but did not buy any. Years ago I ordered bulbs from the gardens in Holland, Michigan and they shipped them to my home. The critters dug up and ate all of them over the winter and I never planted another tulip.
DeleteGorgeous flowers
ReplyDeleteI would love to visit this place because it's always great to have a day without all the museums and activity of the city. I love all these flowers, love that one can walk on those lily pads and I love that one sculpture of that girl who looks like she is flying. I would love to have a secret garden, full of flowers and hidden places to sit looking at a garden gnome or some other sculpture but I'm the Kiss of death with plants..but my hubby isn't. I a, looking forward to seeing your beautiful garden again this year
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping the animals haven't eaten all my hostas. I am seeing lots of damage.
DeleteTulips are a favorite flower. That's one of the reasons I want to visit The Netherlands!

I love seeing the native dress when I visit a country.
DeleteGorgeous pictures. Someday I'm going to travel and this will be on the list.
ReplyDelete=) What a coincidence, I wrote about Keukenhof for my K post too. Your pictures are lovely!

Fabulous gardens! A splash of spring colour is just what we need now. Thanks for the lift.
ReplyDeleteLooks very relaxing and great for a stroll. I like the fountain in the first picture. Looks like a giant dandelion!
ReplyDeleteYou are right. Looks just like a large seed head.
DeleteHow beautiful. Only gardens I remember visiting were in NC, SC and GA.
ReplyDeleteThis would absolutely be on my must-see list for visiting the Netherlands! What a treat!

ReplyDeleteI love visiting gardens, some day perhaps I will make it to Keukonhof, but for now I will have to just enjoy the pictures. If your travels ever take you to Maine, I recommend a visit to the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, not quite like Keukenhof but enjoyable just the same.

I was in Bar Harbor many years ago. It was totally unplanned and I really enjoyed it.
DeleteWhat beautiful gardens. I've never seen so many tulips together.
ReplyDeleteStunning and just as I remember it. On one of our visits, there was a photo shoot for a wedding magazine layout. Beautiful backdrop for the wedding gowns.
