Keukenhof - 2016
Fashion was the theme of the thousands of orchids displayed this year. Breathtaking in
purples, pinks, and white. 800,000 vistors in 8 weeks enjoy it each year. I think most of
them were there that day.
The "Golden Age of Holland" a galleon and
Dutch houses in thousands of bulbs, and
indoor displays incorporating replicas of
the works of the great Dutch masters.
Above right: rainbow tulips,
one of the thousands of flower
displays. And a reminder that
tulips did not originate in
Holland. They were wildflowers
imported from Turkey in the
1500´s and created a wave of
weath equivalent to the
internet boom of the 90´s. The
word "tulip" derives from the
Turkish word for turban.
