Spring 2025, the flower bulb fields in the Netherlands are in full bloom. On Easter Sunday, enjoy the beautiful weather and the colourful tulip fields.
Tulip (Tulipa) is a genus of single-seeded plants in the lily family (Liliaceae). Tulips were introduced to the western world by Vienna's ambassador to Turkey, Ogier Gisleen van Busbeke, who wrote about the flowers he had seen in Edirne, Turkey, in 1551. He later sent some of its seeds to Austria.
The arrival of a batch of tulip bulbs from Turkey in Antwerp in 1562 heralded the beginning of European tulip cultivation.
