We Captured The Incredible Transformation Of The Netherlands When All 7 Million Tulips Bloom At Once
Every year around mid-April, The Netherlands is transformed into a technicolor wonderland as millions of tulips bloom all at once. The Dutch are known for many things, but the tulip has become a worldwide phenomenon, and we set out to capture all the color.
We visited fields and gardens all across the country and were blown away by all the varieties – over 1500 to be exact. Below is what we saw.

I like how in a field full of purple flowers there is the one unique yellow flower. Truly beautiful
Keukenhof is a very nice place to see how beautiful flowers can be arranged :)
Holy s**t. This is beautiful. And apparently the only way I can convey my wonder is by swearing, definitely not unlike me.
Hey, that's where I live. I see this everyday when I look through my front window. Although they have started to cut them down (to preserve the bulb).
This is beautiful . But now I've got this song in my head .https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_eQQKVKjifQ
The fields of tulips are mostly for cultivating the bulbs to be sold as export. Sad reality is that the farmers do whats called "topping" the tulips in order for the bulbs to grow bigger. Basically they just chop the flower heads off like this...https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=120&v=RKsUW-Vuhl0
They're beautiful of course but I'm wondering what they do with all of them. Do they ship them out all at once? Logistics and timing must be a nightmare. How do you harvest flowers? Just curious.
They are growing them in order to export the bulbs, they don't harvest the flower itself, in fact they chop the flower heads off at some point in order to grow the bulb bigger.

No not necessarily, just because you don't see any doesn't mean there aren't any. The insects just weren't what they were focusing on so they didn't take any pictures of the insects. You also gotta realize the pictures shown are also not every single picture they took while there either so we don't know if they took pictures of butterflies or not
