The rows and rows of Tulips were breathtaking!

I am just trying to imagine the smell of those flowers in Harlem during the parade….it must have been intoxicating!

Thanks for sharing this!

We always hear about Tulips, but we don’t realize that Tulips are just the first flowers that crops up in Holland. The rest of the year we can probably see all those types of flowers all over the Netherlands.
Very beautiful!

Lifecruiser: Yes, that’s one of the reasons I love to travel :-)

I’d love to see the the tulips in Holland someday. Wonder how they keep the critters out of them – :roll: . I planted 75 tulips one year and none – NONE came up. Moles or voles had a feast.

I joined GTS midweek. Enjoyed your post. Thanks for sharing.

Lifecruiser: Welcome to the GTS – I’m rather new at it myself. Ooops, yeah they really had a feast then! You’d better go to Holland to see Tulips then ;-)

Lifecruiser: Well, I guess every flower parade is beautiful, almost impossible not to be whith such a creations :-)

Incredible floats all made using some part of the flower. I have never been to it , it is in California, but have watched it on TV many times. The people who do the floats are true artists!

Lifecruiser: Yes, they truly are! What an achievement to build these. They’re sure are admirable. There are many flower parades I ewould love to visit, I hear… *lol*

I just don’t like them at home. (I just feel sorry them standing in the vase and probably crying) But the meadows – oh, they can be really free there. :) ))
And the famous tulips:))) Actually it is a great idea to go the Netherlands to see so many of them. :) )

Lifecruiser: Yes, then you can see whole fields of them. Must be very beautiful from the air. I missed that view since it was to early in the spring, so I have to go there some more time :-)
