For a few weeks each spring, from late March to early May, the flower fields of the Netherlands’ Bollenstreek region reach their peak, blanketing the landscape around the town of Lisse and Keukenhof Park in vivid yellows, reds, and blues as tulips and daffodils bloom.
Footage filmed on Wednesday shows flower fields, tourists taking pictures, and people walking through them. Later, locals and tourists are seen riding bicycles through the flower fields.
“I really like the tulips that we see around here. <…> yeah, I get the feeling that this is why Van Gogh could have actually painted here, because it really inspires us,” said Thomas, a tourist.
Another tourist from the US, Linda, said, “It’s amazing seeing the tulips in person. We see pictures, or you see them in grocery stores, but nothing is like seeing them out here in the fields and all the colours.”
The Netherlands is the undisputed global leader in the flower industry, commanding roughly 50% of the world’s fresh-cut flower exports, valued at over $4 billion annually.
The country also excels in developing advanced techniques that enable it to produce flowers practically all year round.”
