Spring Flowers
With the spring rains brings the lovely flowers, fresh blooms, green grass and new leaves. This week the weather inspired me to write a blog about where you might travel to enjoy the beautiful flowers, greenery, scenery. See a few of my ideas below.
Holland
A trip to Holland is sure to bring delight. You can have a visit to Keukenhof Gardens, which is open for 8 weeks ago. They have 79 acres and over 7 million flowers. The iconic windmills are a picturesque thing to enjoy as well all through Holland. The best time of year to visit for the blooms is April to May. There is a river cruise that also takes in the beauty of the tulips, something to ponder.
England, The Lake District
Did you know that over half of all the bluebells are found in the UK? (I didn’t before this article). You can take a trip to England enjoy the bluebell forest in the lake district. You can stroll along admiring the flowers on the hillsides, or go off the beaten path to the Dorothy Farrer’s Wood. Either way, you will have plenty of beauties to admire. Best time to visit: May.
Andalusia, Spain
The south of Spain is perfect weather to visit in May (best time to see the blooms too). It’s not too crowded, perfect temperature and just bursting with flowers. The orange trees are blossoming. The parks are vivid with color, but Cordoba’s Fiesta de los Patios and Courtyard Festival are the most popular reasons to visit Andalusia in the springtime. This is a 2 week festival in which the city fills their courtyards with flowers! Best time to visit: May.
