As I came around the corner yesterday, I was surprised to see Dam-square in Amsterdam had changed in a sea of tulips. Normally crowded with tourists and living statues it looked like "the Keukenhof" now.
It was a present of the tulip-horticulture to attract attention to their product. Everybody was free to take the tulips home.
When something is for free people don't have to think twice to take it.
It was fun to see the disbelieve on the faces of the people it was for free and then the fun everybody had picking a bundle of tulips in the middle of the wintertime. Winter has still not arrived here, high tempertures and lots of rain.
Wat leuk, ik had er over gelezen maar het helemaal vergeten. Kan me voorstellen dat iedereen stomverbaasd was dat het gratis plukken was. Wat een prachtig gezicht.ben benieuwd of alles is opgegaan.

BeantwoordenVerwijderenCaT,
BeantwoordenVerwijderenNo I didn't, we were going to visit a museum and didn't want to carry them through the whole city.
What a fun surprise! And how lovely to see so many tulips in one place - and in the middle of the city!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenAnd, it seems they come roots and all - I have never seen that before.
That's so beautiful. I love all the colors. It's really cool that people were allowed to pick the flowers for free.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenSo many tulips, my favorite flower!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenHow nice that you could take them for free. Wish I had been there.
Gosh how nice would that have been, I love tulips but to buy them here in Perth is sooooo expensive, to have a lovely bunch of different coloured tulips for free would have been amazing. Love these vibrant happy pictures Biebs.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenwow, these are beautiful. I like how many have not fully opened their blossoms.
