I don't have any social commentary for this one, but the pictures might make the bloemen-lovers among you hop on a plane come spring.
** A word to the wise, however. If you want to share some of the beauty with your friends and family back in North America, perhaps pictures are best. I sent tulip bulbs to my Mom and sisters - two in British Columbia and one in California. The bulbs bound for BC were confiscated by Canada Customs despite the gold seal the flower-seller assured me was proof of their safety for North American soil. Fortunately, the "Princess Irene" bulbs sent to California made it safely through the postal system and my sister tells me that her Dutch Tulips are already sprouting. Hopefully the Canada Customs agent who stole my bulbs will appreciate their beauty as much as my family would have.
