Tulip Time

Fields of flowers around the Dutch town of Lisse turn the landscape into a patchwork quilt of bright colors at this time of year.  Tulips have been grown in the Netherlands since the 16th century, when they were imported from the Ottoman Empire. The tulip season runs from March until August.  So while we are all excited about tulip time up in Skagit Valley, they are all the more stunning over in Holland.
