Flowers in the surroundings of Amsterdam

Flowers around Amsterdam

Every spring the fields in the surroundings of Amsterdam turn from sandy patches into beautiful carpets of lime green sprouts as the first signs of spring emerge. But also the picturesque old Dutch villages, the nicely kept homes in Dutch styles, the farmlands with rivers and bridges, it's really amazing. 
By the time the season is in full swing, especially in March, the area is swathed in all kinds of green with yellow, pink, purple, orange and red flowers, a sight that truly looks like a fairy tale.
