Tulip Fields

This is actually my mother's photograph from my parents' recent trip to Holland, but oh how I wish it was mine and that I'd been there to see it with my own eyes. I usually post my own work here but this was too beautiful not to share.

  3. A couple of hours north of Seattle is a tulip festival every spring that looks like this, the Skagit Valley Tulip thing. Holland is probably closer to you, though. A sight worth travelling to, I think!

  13. Gorgeous- does Holland still import bulbs from Israel and then grow them in Holland? I think I heard that once and was surprised....maybe it was another type of flower
