Last year we visited Europe in April so that we could visit the famed Keukenhof Gardens. Keukenhof is one of the world's largest flower gardens and is only open to the public for eight weeks a year when the tulips are blooming. Keukenhof covers an area of 79 acres and approximately 7 million flower bulbs are planted in the gardens annually. While the gardens were full with visitors, it is so big that it didn’t feel that way. The garden beds are meticulously maintained and the colors of the tulips dazzle your eyes. The garden bed above looked to me like the tulips were marching for some destination unknown.
