Tulip Fields of Holland

The Tulip Fields of Holland,Parliament
Buildings, Ottawa, Canada
During WWII, when the Nazis overran Holland, the
Dutch Royal Family fled, first to England and
then later Queen Juliana came to Canada with the
children, and lived in Ottawa for the duration of
the war. In 1943 she gave birth to Princess
Margriet Francisc (3rd daughter) in an Ottawa
hospital. Ever since WWII, Holland has gifted
Canada with 100,000 tulip bulbs every year as a
token of appreciation. The bulbs are planted all
around the parliament buildings in Ottawa, and
the display of colour is beautiful. Here is a
wonderful tour of the Tulip Fields of Holland,
where the air is heavy with their fragrance
