Tulip in Keukenhof
before the end of May the door of the spring bulb garden Keukenhof near Amsterdam in The Netherlands will be closed until next spring. I still have a lot new spring bulb flowers that didn’t bloom yet. But I suppose they have to put an early date in case of a bad weather conditions make that nothing is blooming anymore but tourists are still flocking in… 
Meanwhile I am struck with a bad, bad headache these last few days, so updating the tulip pictures is not really a good idea. But if you really want more flowers… you can always go shopping at your local florist

Keukenhof gardens
Just a reminder that the Keukenhof gardens are half way its 2 months of showing visitors the most magnificent spring gardens.

Purple Tulips
The best spot on earth to walk through purple tulips in between the garden flowers of Keukenhof. The spring bulbs are now in full bloom at the Keukenhof Gardens in the Netherlands.
I do love to stroll around in floral shops with big green houses, but nothing compares to Keukenhofs’ 7 million spring flowers, mostly tulips, yet also earlier in spring daffodils and hyacinths. 80 acres of spring flowers and tulip fields outside the Dutch town of Lisse, nearby Amsterdam, will still be open until may 20th.

For those who can’t make it to Europe this year, the tulip festival in Holland, Mich., is as close as it gets to the Dutch tulip gardens. Holland is a quaint town with Dutch roots, about a 2.5-hour drive from Chicago. Its annual tulip festival takes place May 5-12.

If you think that you need to go to the Netherlands in order to find tulips, then think again.
Once of the countries I love the most when it comes to enchanting nature is Japan. Just a pity that the country is oh so expensive to visit over and over again.
But have a look at this 20 second Tulip video from Japan:
Tulips in Akebonoyama
If you visit Japan in Spring, then make sure you visit Kashiwa park. Not only for the famous "cherry blossom viewing", but also for the Akebonoyama Agricultural Park.
Kashiwa Japan: Akebonoyama Agricultural Park tulips
In the youtube video above you see Akebonoyama Agricultural Park without blooming tulips, but the youtube video below showcases a song with at the background blooming tulips from Akebonoyama Agricultural Park.
Ok, I admit, I am just not an autumn person, let alone a winter person…
