That is sad though that the tulips time has ended before you arrived in Amsterdan. I suppose the tulips are one of the most sought for sight in AMsterdam.

Tulips are imported also here when Valentine comes. It is so expensive. But for those rich lovers, they don’t mind as long as their sweetheart can also receive even just 3 tulips flowers. I think a bouquet would really cost a lot, that an ordinary and practical person like me would just choose to spend the big money to a very nice dinner, complete with a band.

I have never actually seen a tulip flower. Only on pictures. My daughter always receive 3 tulips on Valentine’s day. During our time, we don’t have tulips yet.

It really can dampen one’s spirit if what you dreamed of is not what happened.

The photo that accompany your article is so beautiful and breathtaking!

You are also right that this should not ruin that European Trip you took due to the ineptness of the travel agent who arranged your tour.

I had the chance to ‘visit’ Amsterdam, to change flight in going to England, but only in Schiphol Airport, around July of 1991, and they were selling Tulip bulbs in their souvenir shops there.

Thank you for the very informative topic about tulips.

I also wish that we can grow Tulips in our country, the Philippines.

Wow, they look beautiful.

it really spiritual thing to look at this breathhtaking photo, i like green trees but also flowers and roses are awesome thing to look at, topic is really good and shops here also full of good breathtaking flower, i like to grow this things in backyards but tulip is hard to take care of and wish to do learn it one day though, i like now jasmine its not easy to take care of it but its easier compare it to tulips, and beautiful and has good smell that reach in house too

It only takes courage and self-esteem for one to start something new, like a business investment, as you stated it in your post.

If one is afraid to start a business, he can seek advice from experts or friends who can suggest what kind of business he can put up. Being positive and knowing the intricacies of business can make one successful.
