Keukenhoff Gardens 2013

As a finale to my Mom's 3 week visit, we made a whirlwind trip to Keukenhoff Gardens in Holland. This was my one must see this spring. I'd seen photos of amazing flowers and wanted to check out them out for myself. Keukenhoff breeds flowers that are sent all over the world. Sadly, the cold, damp spring delayed the opening of the tulips. We saw fields of color, but closed tulips. They did have many other lovely flowers and a few varieties of tulips that were fully open. Gorgeous. The gardens have a petting zoo, play areas and miles and miles of flowers to view. Sadly, I was playing with my camera and a few of the images are blurred. Our little milkmaid. Trying out a delicious waffle filled with chocolate and caramel. Yummo!

F-f-f-flowers!

Almost perfect. NNNOOOO! Don't pick the flowers, Mya! As good as it gets! There is a hill on base covered with phlox. I've always loved phlox, having planted several at our home in MA. Gorgeous. The weather was finally perfect this morning, so we ventured out for a quick photo session. I love the flowers and the babies in the pictures are pretty special to me as well.
