My father's family have been bulb growers for over 100 years. They always displayed in Keukenhof. In 1970, I had the privilege to visit my Dutch family and Keukenhof. It is more than the mind can take in on one visit! As a little girl living in Detroit, MI, my daddy would get wooden crates of a variety of bulbs from the family fields in Lisse, Holland. I was always allowed to help him sort and pack for the orders he would get to sell the bulbs directly to friends and coworkers. I was too young then to realize the importance of the bulbs to our heritage. Thankfully, I grew to be an avid gardener, like daddy, and have always enjoyed the flowers. Ironically, the tulip is always associated with Holland. However, the daffodil has always been my favorite!

How wonderful!

I'll bet your yarden is beautiful. I'm with you... I like tulips (especially the little "botanical" ones), but I just adore daffodils. :-)
