Perpetual flower photo thread

[gstafleu]

I just discovered this thread, it has great pictures. Is it ok to post pictures of a whole bunch of flowers as opposed to just a few at a time? These are from the Dutch park the Keukenhof (literally: kitchen garden), which is an exposition of Dutch bulb-prowess in the spring time. All pictures taken with my Canon A75, WB set to cloudy.

First a river of little grapes:


Here is an impression of walking in the garden:


As you can tell, the color-explosion can get a bit out of hand:


And finally, some tulips with romantic rain drops (it was often romantically raining during our visit):

gstafleu ~ Thanks for sharing these and please continue to post on this thread!
For those who haven't been - the Keukenhof is a 'Must Visit' for anyone who likes flowers and is in Holland ~ wonderfull. I haven't been since 1989!!

Thanks for the nice words everyone. Here are some more Keukenhof pics. First a close-up of one of these rainily romantic tulips:


In addition to the bulbs (BTW, could one now say that the Canon A75 apparently has a bulb mode?), the flowering shrubs weren't doing too bad either:


But lest the shrubs steal the stage, here are some more tulips:


And finally, where would we be without your standard bulb-field shot:
