This post has all pictures featuring me. Usually I do not post many
pictures with me...However this time I was lucky to do the
flower-fields-tour with a good friend and colleague of mine, who is an
amazing photographer (dont miss the chance to enjoy the fantastic
gallery of Roland here).
It was also him, who asked me what happened with all these amazing
flowers we have seen (+photographed of course:-). A lot of my visitors
get really shocked (...and some even dont believe me) that these
beauties are simply cut and the thrown away, usually next to the fields
(thats how I know what happened with them).
...and then the next question arrived: why are they planting them at all?
Tulips and the other spring flowers reproduce every year. If the bulb is
planted not too deep (around 7-8 cm deep than it will grow bublettes.
These bublettes (the tulip grows usually 2 till 3 f them) are separted
(after the mother bulb is dug out around 1,5 months after the flower
dies off) and can be sold. And this is the reason of why so many flowers
(tulips, daffodils and hyacinths) are planted in the low lands :-) The
Netherlands exported 3,6 billion flower bulbs in 2010, the biggest
customer in the lasty ears has always been the US...

The pictures of you are lovely - the smell from the hyacinths must have been wonderful.
Gosh - I wish you could have picked some for me Jana. What a heady scent of spring perfume you must have experienced. It just snowed a foot in Breckenridge - thanks for the blossoms!
love the pictures with you in them Jana, the tulip fields are lovely, with you made it lovelier, i love seeing pictures of nature such as this with people having a grand time with them
I have only seen tulip fields, but the hyacints look even better.

What a pretty girl you are dear:) You are a flower amidst the field of flowers. Very beautiful images,
and informative post. I also liked the areal view of the flower fields in your other post.

Love these shots of you, and have to say that these flowers are such a great background for you. The fields are just gorgeous! Will hope to order some bulbs someday from these fields, and how beautiful they look
Late comment but... What?! The flowers are just thrown away??
Why don't they arrange it in bouquets and sell it in the flower market or something?
By the way, I love that photo of you crouched down, taking pictures of the flowers.
Ah, what we would do for good photos! Haha.
