Spring is a beautiful season in the Netherlands. Every year, there are many different flowers to see and photograph. You might know me for my many years of photographing tulips. But there are so many more beautiful flowers to see in the Netherlands!

This photo series shows frozen flowers on the morning of Sunday, April 3, 2022, in the Betuwe area of the Netherlands, which is famous for its fruit trees. Special thanks to local Betuwe photographers that photograph this beautiful sight every year, in particular Ronald Verwijs, who pushed me to come and see (and photograph) it.

    Water Spray

    Water Spray

    Water spray constantly spraying the little flower buds of pear blossoms, making the water freeze around them and also causing beautiful ice pinnacles below them.

    Here you can see how the water bulbs are still thick as this was photographed before the sun rose with temperatures still way below zero. The ice is crystal clear as you can see the little flower bud right through it.

    I really liked the contrast between the red buds and the crystal clear ice created by the water. The red really makes it pop through the ice.

    In Peace

    Getting very close to the little apple blossom buds where you can see how they are ‘in peace’ in their little shell of frozen water.

    And when the ice thaws, the buds go on to blossom!

    Frozen Flower

    Frozen blossoms, that actually look like just one flower on itself with the frozen structure.

    It's remarkable how each one gets encapsulated instead of it just being one big blob of ice.

    Taken more than 2 hours after sunset when this water bulb melted halfway, exposing the flower the sun unharmed.

    Sometimes the ice creates spectacular structures around the flowers. In this case, it looks like a tie!
