Keukenhof, Holland- The Largest Flower Garden in the World

Tuesday, June 11, 2013

Hi everyone!

Our series of exams commenced this morning. I spent two weeks studying. I think I read my entire immunology book! I never thought I could possibly read an entire non-fiction book. My travelling escapades have temporarily ceased and will resume next month. Definitely! Meanwhile, I need to get through 12 exams so I can move on with my first year of master's degree.

Several weeks ago, my friends and I went to Keukenhof to visit the largest spring garden where 7 million tulips are planted. I think it's the most beautiful place I have seen on earth! 




When I was still in the Philippines, I have always wondered how a tulip looked like. I've heard from quite a number of women that tulips are so majestic. I thought, can any flower be more beautiful than a pink rose (pink roses were my favorites)? 


Roses are so soft and fragile, I can't help but feel weak when I see one. Tulips, on the other hand, are so hard and resilient, it felt like feeling weak when I see one was never an option. 


I think I love tulips more than roses now. Unfortunately, they only bloom in Spring. :-(
