Back in 2019 at the Keukenhof festival, I stumbled upon this striking arrangement of tulips by the fountain and couldn’t resist stopping for a photo. The morning was cold and misty, yet the flowers seemed to breathe life into the entire garden.
Coming from tropical Malaysia, tulips are a rare sight — usually imported at steep prices, and never in such abundance. Seeing them here, with people wrapped in coats and scarves against the chill — instead of the usual tees, shorts, and flip‑flops we wear to beat the unrelenting heat — felt like stepping into another world.
Even now, looking at this photo brings back the memory of that peaceful spring morning in Europe: crisp air, gentle mist, vibrant colors, and the quiet rhythm of visitors strolling through the gardens. A world so different from the humid heat of home, yet one that lingers in my mind like a cherished postcard. 🌷✨
How beautiful! ♥ And such vibrant colours.
ReplyDeleteThe photo of the tulips are very beautiful! The heat at your place must be terrible. We got 30 degrees last Sunday, and I felt really bad. We are not used to temperatures like that. I feel sorry for you, Veronica. I send you cool hugs! 🥰
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo of the Veronica tulips.
ReplyDeleteHere you see tulips standing in abundance in the fields in the spring.
It was 35 degrees here last Friday, you couldn't go outside, it was too hot, especially for people with lung problems like me.
All the best, Irma
