History of Tulips in Holland
In the beginning Holland did not have tulips. These flowers were first brought from Turkey. At that time the tulips were planted in the Leiden Botanical Gardens. Since the arrival of tulips, the Dutch people have fallen in love and want to have them. At that time in 1634 - 1637 became the era of Tulipomania, because people really liked tulips, and the price of tulips became very expensive so that they could be exchanged for valuable objects that had high value.
The Keukenhof Tulip Garden is very well known for its many species of tulips, as well as other flowers. In addition to many species, the area is very wide, there is 70 ha of land area. So that this tourist spot can accommodate many visitors. Tulip season only lasts a moment. From mid-March to mid-May, it means that only about two months of Tulips grow. Not surprisingly, people from all over the world will flock to Keukenhof in these months.
The cold climate is typical of the windmill country. Entering the spring, the weather is warmer than the previous month. The sun shone bright and warm, the flowers bloomed.
The type of flower that dominates the Keukenhof comes from the family Liliaceae, especially tulips. The supply of tulips to be displayed at the Keukenhof comes from the tulip fields in the town of Lise. There are billions of other tulips spread out like rugs in the tulip field.
The people of Keukenhof also organize various interesting events each spring, including a large flower parade on April 21 each year.
