The Netherlands is the Kingdom of Tulips; during the blooming season, the smiles of the young women are like the flowers themselves.
The Dutch tulips are so alluring, captivating the gaze and conjuring endless fantasies, ultimately forgetting the way back.
In the Netherlands, at the Keukenhof Park, diligent gardeners are diligently fertilizing the tulips, behind them is an endless expanse of blooming tulips. Facing the vibrant, multicolored 300 varieties of tulips, I simply couldn't move my feet, intoxicated by the beauty of the garden.
The Netherlands is a beautiful country, after the beginning of the spring sunshine, the fragrant tulips take the lead in blooming across the land, opening up the beautiful spring of the Netherlands, then cherries, apples, pears blossom one after another, followed by daffodils, hyacinths, lilies of the valley, all beautifully displayed in the Netherlands. Moreover, in the subsequent seasons, there are also lilies, autumn crocus, roses, peonies, which are also in full bloom, allowing the Dutch people to enjoy a comfortable and relaxing life. I was 'jealous' of them very much.
When your gaze leaves me, this written description, and you lift your head to search for the shadows and fragrance of flowers, I will disturb you. I can quietly tell you that in every season, the Netherlands has flowers, earning it the title of 'Flower Kingdom'. Please remember to, if you have the opportunity, go to the Netherlands to visit the tulips.
Currently, there are more than 40,000 hectares of tulip fields in the Netherlands, with more than 70,000 people working in the flower-related industry. Seven out of ten global cut flowers come from the Netherlands. When Dutch tulips reach all corners of the world, the fragrant tulips, together with the good wishes of the Dutch people, touch the whole world.
In order to have a close contact with tulips, and with the park's guide Mary Miss gentle, I confided in her, although the language wasn't so sophisticated, the topic of tulips made us feel friendly and casual.
It turns out that the Netherlands also has the Western Garden, which has always been called 'Tulip Country'. The Dutch tulips are a symbol of beauty, luxury, solemnity and grandeur. In 1977, Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands visited China, and she presented tulips as a high-class gift to the Chinese people. Time has passed, decades have passed, but the tulips continue to bloom, and many of the witnesses to history have long since passed away. Only the tulips have remained unchanged, using their lives to adorn people with beauty and hope.
Dutch tulips are so many that they dazzle the eyes, making people dazzled and elated. I remember that in Qingdao's Zhongshan Park, many tulips were planted, and when the sea breeze brought spring to the island city, the tulips rushed to bloom, allowing Qingdao citizens and foreign tourists to admire them, so that they were full of love. The beauty of tulips in Zhongshan Park is beautiful, but it is not as beautiful as the tulips in the small parks and farms and villages around the Netherlands. The tulips in the Netherlands are of many varieties and colors, red, yellow, white, blue, purple, which can be found by those who like different colors. The Dutch tulips have plump petals and rich fragrance, any blooming one can be used as a goblet to serve wine to guests. The fragrance of tulips is simply from heaven, so fragrant that it cannot be breathed through, so fragrant that it is like a mellow wine, drunken and dizzy, as if walking in heaven.
While walking across the Netherlands, tulips accompany you around, even in dreams, you will be infected by the color of tulips. In many beautiful memories in my childhood, I picked up many fallen tulips. Famous writer Dumas visited the Netherlands, faced the romantic tulips, was completely stunned, stared at the tulips, trying to find the inspiration for his writing, he couldn't help but say, 'Tulips, you are too dazzling, dazzling that I can't open my eyes, perfect that I can't help but admire you.' Yes, tulips are perfect, perfect that people can't complain. In the presence of tulips, other beautiful flowers are ashamed. The more beautiful the tulips are, the more carefully the Dutch people take care of them. Under the careful cultivation of the Dutch people, now the Dutch tulips have gone abroad, bringing permanent fragrance and beauty to all corners of the world.
Tulips not only bring countless beauty to the Dutch people, but also become an important foreign exchange revenue channel for the Netherlands. Every year, only the export of tulips generates billions of dollars in revenue for the Netherlands. Many flower farmers in the Netherlands make a living by selling tulips. In the fragrant tulips, flower farmers work diligently, creating and harvesting in this flourishing work, bringing permanent fragrance and beauty to the world.
The tulip trading center is really big, bigger than a football field. In the tour we saw that the design and layout of the hall is very reasonable, according to the process of flower sales, the hall is divided into goods in hall, storage hall and delivery hall. The Dutch people have put a lot of effort into building the flower market. We saw that the hall was bustling with people, very lively, with all kinds of flowers sorted by function, which could be found in the electronic guide map in the hall in the shortest time, then trade and transport in the computer's help. The Dutch use computer management to promote the flower market, realizing the online flower trading. In the hall, according to the layout of the hall, layer by layer, the middle passage is for people to walk, this modern trading method makes the merchants and flower farmers benefit greatly. After the transaction, the transport trucks went to the city, some of the flowers were delivered to the airport, so that the flowers could be delivered to the international market as soon as possible. We learned that the trading hall was operated by a company, which provided services to flower merchants and flower farmers, only charging service fees and management fees. In such a large service system, the company's personnel were only about 100, but they created huge benefits. The Netherlands' market-based operation of flower sales model is indeed worthy of our learning.
The Dutch tulips have brought me endless associations. When I was learning more about the market management experience from the managers of the flower market, the tour ended, I reluctantly said goodbye to the friendly Dutch people and the tulips.
The bus drove us along, and everywhere we looked, there were tulips blooming, the mother earth, under the care of the flower farmers, was beautifully dressed with tulip flowers.
