Oh Ina,
Tulips I have heard they grow them like that but never realy seen them how beautiful just like the ground has been painted. Do they just harvest them for the blooms?

They are grown for the bulbs, not the blooms. As soon as they are in bloom, they get beheaded right away. Nowadays, the flowers are cut off by machines, much faster than in the old days when it was done by hand, so they only stay on for a very short time.
Of course, some tulips are grown for cut flowers but the majority are grown for the bulbs.

Oh Ina,
How things change I always thought of men cutting the flowers but I supose machines make the job quicker. tulips remind me of when I was going out with hubby as he is now. Both of us in the RAF and he went to holand and bought me back an arm full of tulips and me in the WRAF block our little room was full of tulips. Happy dating memories of tulips and yes we have lots of different tulips in the garden for old time sake.

My first holiday without the parents :o was to Amsterdam to see the tulip fields and visit lots of wonderful gardens in Spring. (Not visiting the coffee bars or the red light district I can assure you ;)) It was breathtaking then and your photo brought it all back to me. Wonderful Ina ;D

Well Les, if you want to see tulips, go to the Keukenhof (not far from Amsterdam) but you better hurry. We went today and things seem to be at their peak now. The Keukenhof is only open from the end of March to about the end of May, their website will give exact dates.
Here is a picture we took this afternoon.

Hi Teresa. That is the nicest compliment, thank you.
If you really want it for a desk top, I should mail you the full size one, this one is only 25%. If you want me to mail you this one and others (we took some beauties, so happy with our new digi camera), just private message your e-mail address to me and I'll send you some piccies that will make your mouth water.

Oh Ina, that is so beautiful. I have followed Teresa's example and put it on my desktop. My computer automatically resizes it to fit my desktop. I would love to see the other photos. Why not put them on here, I am sure the others would love them too.

Patricia and Teresa (and anyone for that matter), it would be a shame make a blow-up from these small pictures, it will be much sharper if you got the full size but it's up to you. I'd gladly e-mail full size ones to anyone wanting them, just private message your addy.
Here are a few more.

I suggested to Ina that they should do the national flag in tulips - would make a good photo from the air? Thanks for growing all those, so that we can enjoy the dozen or so we have in our garden. Pitiful, isn't it!! All we get locally is fields of rape. Are any of them fragrant? That would be something to experience.
My wife got over, courtesy the US Airforce, many years ago, and still raves about it. = Tim
PS thought I'd add this? And to hell with the size!!

That was fun to see Tim. I still think that the full size one would be much sharper.
As far as I know, tulips have no smell but the garlic smell of the fritilaria was everywhere, not offensive to me tho'.
Many years ago, they did do a field in tulips like a painting, near the airport. It was amazing.
At the risk of you all getting sick and tired of my Keukenhof pictures and Dan saying I take up too much room, here are a couple more.

Just love the water one.
The desktop - no, it's perfectly sharp. Remember it's been photographed with a shaky hand, and then messed about with. No probs, = Tim
