Keukenhof Gardens

Jo Ann and Paul went to Keukenhof in the spring of 2007. There is no place quite like it. Bill Johnson and his camera would go crazy there! (Maybe his bride too!) We only attended one day there , but Paul could have spent three! On one of the webmaster’s other websites, here are 160 photos which Paul took. We went on a 12 day Elderhostel trip entitled “Tulipmania”. (Elderhostel is now called Exploritas) The program number is 10137RJ. If you are looking for a trip to Europe in the spring and love flowers, maybe this is the one for you. By the way, just looking at photos does not do the place justice! It’s the spells, noise, looking, people’s reactions, etc.

When Paul first started taking photos he was somewhat overwhelmed! So he started to include the name of the tulips he was taking. If you find something you like from Paul’s photos, (give photos time to load into your computer before viewing) write down the tulip name and then see if the Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm has it. (see below) Might be cheaper than having the bulbs sent from the Netherlands. Heck, you might even find them in COSTCO.

Every other year they usually change what bulbs they are growing.
