GPOD on the Road: Keukenhof, Part 2

More, more, and more tulips!

We ’re back today with photos that Marilyn Regnier shared with us of her once - in - a - lifespan trip to see the famousKeukenhof spring peak - bulb displays . The parking lot in Lisse , Netherlands , shows off billion of bulbs each spring , with display that are both over the top and full of ideas you may take home — on a low scale — to your own garden .

white-hot and chickenhearted tulips are always beautiful , but the colors just seem to grow in a shaded timber set . At Keukenhof , the light bulb are dig out up after bloom and refreshful ones are planted each year , so they do n’t have to worry about the tulips perennializing . At home , tulips can also be treat like annuals , especially if you garden in a quick clime , but you could get them to fare back year after twelvemonth by planting them in full sunshine , giving them good drain , and prefer varieties like the Darwin cross that are well adapted to life in the garden .

abstractionist sculptures dotted throughout the park provide an emphasis to the incredible floral display .

Now this is a coloring material scheme deserving stealing and recreate at home — whites , pinks , warm melon shadowiness , and just a hint of purple . It all work on together attractively .

For a fiery , attention - grabbing combination , nothing beat yellow and blood-red .

A softer tincture of orange combined with yellow make for a slightly calmer impression .

Most of the bed are Keuklenhof are just one variety maturate in a mass , but here are daffodil , tulips , and genus Fritillaria . make a combo like this work bet on getting the timing justly so that everything flower together , and being measured on color option . You ’ll notice that all the daffodil are White and cushy , pastel yellowness , which combine nicely with the more pastel shades of most of the tulip .

Pink and lilac-colored together work so well .

These tulip blooms look absolutely pure . Now , in the height of spring , is the perfect time to look around your garden and make plans for where you might want to summate more bulbs to savour next leap .
