Tulips come in many different colors

Flowers and the Netherlands are inextricably linked.
Flowers are the things that add color to
the typically Dutch landscape.

Bulb fields, long narrow ditches and green strips of grass create a colorful palette, especially in the provinces of Noord-Holland and Flevoland.

Flowers are not only one of the main export products
of the Netherlands, they also attract many tourists
from all over the world, year after year.

Holland and tulips are inseparable. The first bulbs arrived
in Holland several centuries ago from Turkey and Iran.
They immediately became very popular in Holland and their arrival was the beginning of a prosperous flower industry.

Today Holland is the main producer of
commercially sold flowers and plants.
