In January the flower fields are in hibernation. Millions of flower bulbs were planted in autumn and the fields are covered by a layer of chopped wheat straw. The straw is to protect the flower bulbs from damage caused by frost. The straw is a populair shelter for birds. It will take about two to three months for the flowers to start blooming.

Weather Forecast

So far we have not had any really cold weather in Holland. It has not really frozen yet. The same weather is expected until the end of January. We will keep looking at February and March because the weather in these months is important for the growth of the flower fields.
