Current status of the flowers – 9th May 2017
We are heading towards the end of springtime. The temperature is rising and we have some mixed weather with sunshine, wind and some rain showers. At keukenhof many flowers are still in bloom. There are even some spots in the garden where the tulips need to start blooming. Inside the Willem Alexander Pavillon the lily show is being prepared for the grand finale of springtime. It is the largest lily show on earth with more than 4500 stems (with multiple flowers per stem) of lilies in over 100 different varieties. With an additional 1000 lilies in pots it is a colorful sight to see. It is an absolutely must visit when you are at Keukenhof. Upcoming weekend will the Romance weekend at Keukenhof. With classical music and dance it is a perfect place to celebrate Mother’s Day.
Outside the Keukenhof most of the tulip fields are headed by now. The daffodils, hyacinths and tulips in the fields are gone. You might find one or two but with the warmer weather these fields will be headed soon. The bulb farmers are harvesting the bulbs in summer and most of the bulbs will be exported to your gardens around the world during autumn.
