Their dazzling colors are thanks to the years in the 17th century when Tulip mania swept the globe and the most eye-catching specimens changed hands for a small fortune. But like a rainbow, this colorful landscape is a short-lived phenomenon. When the flowers are gone, the land will be cultivated for a rather more mundane crop of vegetables. The Netherlands produce more than nine million bulbs a year.

Your photos of Holland and the Tulips are beautiful - it must have been breathtaking to view them and take all the brillant colours in. Not having been to Holland I will make sure when I do it is during the flowering season.
