Space Bar: I will! Post photos, I mean. It’s nice to know that I can disguise laziness as principle, or method gardening.

BPSK: Those tulips were pretty. One can almost imagine why some would have gone for such astronomical prices. Almost. Though after you’ve seen a few thousand of them, they all start to look the same.

Parmanu: I photographed a lot of the flowers too, I have a great screensaver now And yes, there were a few desis brandishing videocameras and videotaping everything in sight – with spouse and children as backdrops.

But after two rounds of Orange Nassau (and every other exhibition) and covering every inch of the gardens without sitting down even once, I am quite happy to not do it again for a long time

Lazy love is the best of its kind. Like people, perhaps tulips also need space?

This brought back nice memories of Keukenhof. Honestly, I was tired after all that walking, but not tired of the flowers. And it was interesting to simply watch people photograph the flowers, attaching themselves to the fore or background

Keukenhof and you didn’t think of the Tulip Mania (the g.g.g.grandfather of today’s housing bubbles)?

rads: Oh yes, you are first by a mile! Looks like BPSK’s weekend has already started.

I actually did not know about the Silsila connection until you mentioned it The fields in “Dekha ek khwaab” are not in Keukenhof, but we did see some fields like that nearby. They had only tulips though, not the red ones
