bulbfields

Dutch floral plantations

Bulbfields are areas of land devoted to growing flowering bulbs—tulips, daffodils, hyacinths—typically on a commercial scale.

The term evokes the famous Dutch landscapes where vast expanses of color stretch to the horizon in spring: We cycled through the bulbfields near Keukenhof.
