It's a little early to see tulips blooming on the first day of spring, but let's look ahead. The tulip has come to be the beloved symbol of the Netherlands. The brightly colored flowers bloom there sometime in May, after the crocuses and daffodils finish their remarkable show. Let's take a look at a few tulips close up, and then the spectacular landscape seen from the air. The tulip fields here are located in Anna Paulowna, a town in the province of North Holland. The tulips are grown for several years before the bulbs are large enough to be ready for sale. The Netherlands exports bulbs in large quantities to more than 100 countries worldwide.
