It’s spring! Keukenhof Gardens in Holland has opened its doors today at 8:00 AM and the flowers are beautiful because of the nice weather.
The flower park has never been so beautiful with the opening. The many colored flowers immediately bring you that wonderful spring feeling.
And not only the park flourishes. The flower fields are also beautiful. The daffodils, hyacinths and even some early tulips bring color to the fields. In short, it’s spring!
Current state of the flower fields in Holland
As we indicated above, there is already a lot of color on the flower fields in Holland. The daffodils, crocuses and hyacinths color the Bollenstreek yellow, purple, pink and blue. We have also seen the first early red tulip fields near Keukenhof.
Weather Forecast Holland
The weather forecast indicates that nice spring weather can be expected in the coming days. The temperature is pleasant and the sun shows itself regularly. This pleasant weather is ideal for a cycle route through the flower fields.
Flower Forecast 2019*
The blooming of the flower fields is about 2 weeks earlier than average growth. This means we expect the following blooming periods for the flower fields:
- Crocus – Currently there are some blooming fields till the end of March
- Daffoldils – Currently there are some blooming fields till mid April
- Hyacints – The first hyacint flower fields are starting to bloom. In the coming week we expect to see more hyacint fields in bloom.
- Tulips – The first early tulip field is blooming near Keukenhof. Most of the tulip fields are still waiting and we expect them to bloom from the beginning of April till the end of April / beginning of May.
*We try to predict the flowering of the flowers as well as possible. However, the bloom continues to be influenced by nature. Due to weather conditions the flowering process can be different than what we expect.
Blooming of the flowers at Keukenhof Gardens
The blooming of the flowers at Keukenhof Gardens is a bit different from the blooming of the flower fields. The flowers at the flower garden have been specifically chosen to ensure that blooming flowers can be seen from the opening (21 March) to the closure (19 May) of the park. Also, the tulips are not headed so the tulips and other flowers can be admired till 19 May in Keukenhof
