Bulbfields in the Netherlands

[Gerard Oud]

Besides a cover for the frost its saves a lot of work from weeding and the soil remains better at the right moisture.

I hope you will like it when I add some pictures from time to time to this topic when I see something special.
Here some which I made of a Cyclamen coum field this week near Lisse, when I visited the Weekly Flower Show there.

Luit,
a lovely view to see a field of Cyclamen.

[Maggi Young]

Luit, I think this deserves a new page. ( now rejoined!)

I don't believe I have ever seen such a sight of so many cyclamen.... what a delight!

[Joakim B]

Very nice!
But does not people steal a plant or two? Maybe the farmers/growers live close and that stops people taking a plant or two?
Very nice to see this amount of cultivation.
Thanks for showing
Joakim

I was thinking yesterday I would like to have more coum in the garden

Maggi, I put my pictures in the already existing Bulbields 2008 Topic, as I had to dig rather deep to find this Topic.
And since there are so many newcomers on the Forum who might be interested in some older pictures I meant it the best place.

Or should I make a new series of pictures, which is almost like reading a book twice?  

[Maggi Young]

Well, since you put it like that, Luit, I understand your thinking.... I'll join the two again!

Sorry for being inconvenient, Maggi. I see you changed the subject title. Thanks 

I'll join the two again

1 + 1 = 1

Joakim, you're having bad thoughts of the people here  .....

[Joakim B]

Well Luit not so much of others but thinking of myself some 25 years ago. So presume others my be as bad as me? I also see what people do in public plantings in Sweden with just a few bulbs so thought that this might be a problem but hopefully a small one.
Maybe people are used to have nice flowers in the field and let them stay there?

Nice to hera that people might not be as bad as (me) or as one sometime thinks.

Kind regards
Joakim

Yesterday we had a beautiful day with 20 C, so I made a cycling tour to the nearby Show Garden Keukenhof, Lisse. (See my report from last year)
The bulbfields are starting to get a bit green, but on my way I passed a Crocus field.

and in the background a field with Crocus Jeanne d'Arc.
