| Outcome.. |
This place had really astonishing gardens. |
Abi and Brendan. |
Queen Juliana Pavillion: crystal decorations. |

|
|
|
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
| There's even a "Juan" flower. |
Not ready yet, though. :( |
There were _a lot_ of tulips. |
These ones look like marshmallows. |
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
|
|
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Some of the names were terrible. |
Or stolen. :) |
Or wrongly spelled... |
Trees have no leaves yet. |
|
 |

|
|
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
| The park had a sculpture exhibition based on gnomes. |
Abi and other tourists. |
Persica and Cilicica. |
These flowers were not motivated yet. |
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
|
|
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
| I'm sure there was a shape here.. |
This is a gnome horn. |
Abi and Brendan. |
This is a gnome-bag. |
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
|
|
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Finally: a real scultpture :) |
So begins the gnome land invasion! :) |
There were a lot of teeny-tiny gnomes. |
They all look like 'Papa Smurf' clones. |
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
|
|
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Now to the giant tulips in the greenhouse. |
Floral arrangement. |
Abi, Brendan and pink flowers. |
The greenhouse was giant. |
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
|
|
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
| These flowers looked familiar.. |
Tulips of a lot of different colors. |
Abi, Brendan and red tulips. |
More pink flowers. |
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
|
|
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
| These ones are "Mary Ann" flowers (1/3). |
They're not as yellow as they seemed. (2/3). |
I wonder if they grow in other countries.. (3/3) |
More pink tulips. |
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
|
|
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Purple tulips. |
These ones have a mixture of red and yellow. |
"Apricot Beauty". I like the color. |
Humidity has to be under control. |
|
 |
 |

 |
 |
| Who knows who this was... |
Red tulips.. |
This lacks creativity. |
Abi, her red blouse and red flowers. |
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
|
|
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Me and the tulips.. |
The gnomes live in weird teeny-tiny houses. |
More gardens.. |
Your host. |

Violent gnomes hang their enemies. |
More marshmallows? |
