At
first glance, it looks like a giant child armed with a box of crayons
has been set loose upon the landscape. Vivid stripes of purple, yellow,

planted in late October and early November. More than three billion
tulips are grown each year and two-thirds of the vibrant blooms are
exported, mostly to the U.S. and Germany ..
