Gathering Tulips-AI+digital artwork by Donna Kennedy-edited in Topaz Studio...
A beautiful Spring morning with the sun shining on a tulip farm…

The Netherlands is the epicentre of tulip bulb production. This little country exports almost 2.5 billion tulip bulbs to other countries every year. Having the perfect soil for bulb production is what allows Dutch growers to achieve these numbers. And this is a good thing because people all over the world look forward to enjoying these colourful harbingers of spring.

Tulips come in almost every colour of the rainbow: yellow, green, red, orange, purple, pink and even varieties with more than one colour. The only colours missing are blue and true black. Although some varieties approach black, they are actually a deep aubergine. ´Queen of Night´ comes closest, but even this tulip isn’t really black.

The world's largest tulip festival is held in Ottawa, Canada, with tulips sent by the Netherlands to commemorate the special relationship resulting from Canadian actions during World War ll when Canadian forces led the liberation of the Netherlands and hosted the Dutch royal family in exile.
