NETHERLANDS - Windmill & Tulips

Description

NETHERLANDS - Windmill & Tulips:  As you might have already guessed, there are many tulip fields in the Netherlands. In fact, you'll most likely come across them any time you make your way out of town to the countryside.  Among the most famous floral locations is Keukenhof, Netherlands which cannot be left unmentioned.  Situated in the southern region of the country, it is home to the Keukenhof Tulip Garden, one of the most visited gardens in the entire world.  It has a huge diversity of bulb flowers from tulips and lilies to hyacinths and callas, among others, and occupies a territory of more than 70 acres!  Without a doubt, the Keukenhof park deserves a spot on your Netherlands tulip tour. Another rural area rich in bulbs is called Bollenstreek, set not too far from Keukenhof and the Hague. The flower fields have been part of this rural Dutch region for over four centuries and are recognized worldwide for the production of high-quality bulbs. Just imagine spending time by these scent-rich fields taking pictures, walking or cycling - amazing, right?  As for other tulip areas, there are several gorgeous less-traveled Dutch regions you may consider going to for an unforgettable floral experience. As such, you may visit the Aalsmeer municipality, located near Amsterdam, or travel up north to destinations such as Hollandse Kroon, Noordoostpolder.  This White Border Era (1915-30) postcard is in good condition.  D.B.M. 95.
