Lost Daffodils

A vibrant field of multicolored flowers, featuring rows of pink, blue, and purple blooms, arranged in stripes with green foliage.
The Netherlands, Voorhout – April 2026

From a distance it seems that the rows of bulbflowers are always perfectly consisting one color and one type of plant. However, there is always the odd one out if you look closer. Here are a few Daffodils mixed up with the Hyacinths.

Out in the fields

Hyacinths spread color and fragrance on the fields at this time of year. Remember: these flowers are not destined to be sold, but are grown for the bulbs. In June you can order the bulbs in webshops, to have them light up your garden next Spring.

Hyacinths spread color and fragrance on the fields at this time of year. Remember: these flowers are not the reason to grow them. The reason is in the ground: these bulbs will be harvested and then after the Summer exported to all over the world.

Just Around A Corner

A wide landscape featuring a vibrant purple flower field under a clear blue sky, with a meandering stream and sparse trees in the background.
The Netherlands, Voorhout – March 2026

Fortunately, this is really just around the corner. This time of year it is fun to take the bicycle and check out the flowers in the area. Especially when the sun shines. As most of my photos on here are taken on iPhone I do fit the brief of this week’s LAPC theme week (#391) ‘Phone photography’ easy.

Flower Fields

The Netherlands, Voorhout – April 2023

At this time of Spring the bulbfields deliver their richness and beauty in rows of flowers, stretching over the land like post stamps. Living in this area of The Netherlands for a long time, this is quite a ‘normal’ event. I try to remember the first time I saw it as a child, being amazed by the perfume and splendour of the fields, just to keep me appreciating it as it should.
