Flower markets Amsterdama
A completely specific, amazing attraction of Amsterdam is the BloeMenmarkt flower market. There is little place in the city, so the traders have long been selling flowers directly from boats floating through the channels. But from the 19th century, the market is located on barges moored by the bank of the Singer channel between the Muntplein and Coninconsplane (Koningsplein).
A completely specific, amazing attraction of Amsterdam is the BloeMenmarkt flower market.
There are quite a lot of bargain, so there will be a lot of time to inspect the entire market. Is it worth getting dancing with the whole range of goods, the question is ambiguous. There are all sorts of flowers and plants, both indoor and garden, their bulbs, seedlings, sprouts, seeds. The magnificence of fresh cut colors of all shapes and shades of the rainbow makes it over and am wondering how inventing nature is. Supported goods are all sorts of vases and porridge for flowers, decorations for garden landscape. Tourists enthusiastically view labels on boxes, packages and bags. Judging by the expressions of individuals, everyone is satisfied, and sellers rejoice at least buyers: the goods are bought cheerfully.
Of course, the counters enjoy special attention, in which the mountains with the inscription will come in the mountains: "Cannabis. Starterskit. When transferring to Russian, something like "cannabis. Starting package. It is worth it a bit more expensive than a magnet, but the cheaper of the decorative plate: 6-9 EUR, and merry emotions (at the stage of viewing) causes more. The most difficult thing is to keep the purchase of this souvenir, when crossing the border, it will almost inevitably lead to serious troubles, and then it will not be so fun. It is better to switch attention to trivial magnets or plates, which are a great set on the market: they are folded on the shelves into carpets no less motley and colorful than floral. You can buy here and houseplants: incredible beauty flowers, palm trees with bizarre leaves, something spine, but very pretty. Here you can get advice on the topic of growing one or another plant, the language barrier is not a hindrance: the sellers use all available funds, up to the facial expressions, to explain the flower and enthusiast feature of the cultivation of the acquired instance of the flora.

On the package you can see a photo of future flowers. The problem of buyers is only in choosing: blue? Orange? Purple? black? terry? Dwarf? Few wonders wonders whether flowers will grow from these bulbs. Someone knows the secrets that allow themselves in their homeland to grow the same beautiful as in the Netherlands, someone will bring the bulbs in the ground, hoping to admire the tulip carpet from the window of his country house. But it is still worth it to pay attention to the fact that the label does not only decorate functions.
On it, as a rule, it is written, at what time of year it is necessary to land the data of the bulbs.
In most cases, it will be either late spring, or autumn. The "autumn" bulbs, bought in advance, must be kept in a paper package, and to land in front of the winter. The Internet is shot by stories about how the triggers had to resort to lovers of Dutch tulips, to get a decent result, as the basis of their activities, you can take any favor.
Amsterdama parks
But not tulips are famous to Amsterdam, and all Holland. Parks are another "green pearl" of the country. Despite the fact that in Amsterdam is very closely, in some places there is little space in it, even for pedestrians, in every area of \u200b\u200bthe city there is a park.
VoDelpark is the largest, and perhaps the most beautiful in the city. Architect J. D. Zerh developed his project in 1877, taking a classic English park as the basis of the design. Here it is rhythmically alternate open spaces, arrays of trees, ponds of different shapes and sizes, intricate the loop tracks, a variety of flower beds. The park is named after the famous Netherlands playwright and poet Yoost Van Den Vondel - who has been established here. There is a park in the southwestern part of the city and stretches from the square of museums to the fashionable residential areas, the life in which is pleasant and serene. It is also pleasant and serene the time in this park. There is a large platform with children's attractions designed for active children's games, four terraces where you can enjoy coffee and snack, skating, many arbors. The city authorities approached nontrivially to the problem of prohibitions, as a result, in VoDelpark, it is forbidden to walk dogs without leashes, but it is allowed to have sex both hetero- and homosexual couples: Amsterdam, you know ... The capital of freedom ... Despite this state of affairs, The park, from the first years of its existence, has become a favorite holiday destination not only for residents of nearby respectable quarters, but also for all citizens.
Especially popular and less famous and not so extensive parks: Sarfatipark, Western Park, located in the western part of the city, East - which is located, respectively, in the eastern part of Amsterdam. Such small parks like Erasmus and Batrix are popular. The climate in the city is not generous in the sun, so many citizens try to spend any sunny day to hold in your favorite park. As a result, the parks are sometimes very popular and "densely populated" place.
The full name of another Amsterdam Park is Natura Artis Magistra, which means "Nature - a mentor of art."

Parks of Holland
Interesting travelers, especially young, and Madurodam Park (Madurodam) - Holland in miniature. Here are a lot of accurately and finely performed layouts of the country's attractions, scale 1:25.

It is impossible not to say about one of the most beautiful and bright parks of Europe, about Kekenhof Park. The best verbal description of the park is very short: "It must be seen." Indeed, how can I describe how great the sight of multi-colored and diverse tulips, hyacinths, irises, carnations planted and smooth rows, and on flowerbeds of intricate forms? How can you describe the waves of thin fragrances, which overtake visitors to the park during wind blowing?
The project of the park was developed by the same architect that created a VoDelpark in Amsterdam, J. D. Zherom, so there is some similarity of two parks. Every year more than 7 million plants luckers are planted in Kökenghof and there are more than 800,000 tourists, each of whom will take off the unforgettable impressions.

Stolen happiness
Tulips are the most important export goods of the Netherlands. Meanwhile, the national symbol of the country has far from Dutch origin. It is believed that the flower was brought to Europe from Constantinople in the 1550s by the Austrian Ambassador to Turkey, Ozier de Busbeck. A large batch of bulbs was sent to the Viennese Garden of Medicinal Plants, which was led by the Flemish Botanist Charles de L'delusion, more famous for Karl Clusus. He actively engaged in the selection of a flower, called in honor of the Eastern Head Upora "Turban" (from Turkish tulbend.). When clubs were invited to work by the curator of the Botanical Garden of Leiden University in Holland, he grabbed several bulbs with him. Karl put them in 1593, and in 1594 in the Netherlands, the tulips were bloomed.
However, the cultivation of overseas flowers in Holland was not easy. In the first winter, more than 100 bulbs were eaten by mice, and years left for the removal of new years. The scientist did not sell tulips grown with such labor, unless it was divided by the results of breeding with comrades on the craft working at the royal courtyards of Europe. It is not surprising that in 1596 and 1598 in the Garden of the biologist visited thieves. And after the death of Clusis (in 1609), exotic flowers began to appear on the market, becoming a "virus" of the disease, which struck Holland for several years.

SELECTION Rembrandt tulips ( REMBRANDT GROUP.) - One of the 15 classes to which all existing varieties are divided. It combines flowers with a motley color with fancy strokes and stains on petals. In the XVII century, such a painting arose due to the lesion of the bulbs with a virus of spells. Sick flowers were the most beautiful and expensive. It was them that artists were depicted in the paintings. Due to the fact that these tulips became a popular motive in Dutch painting, later they were combined into a class called the name of the most famous local artist - Rembrandt. However, the virus that generated an unusual varietary sign led to the degeneration of "damaged" ( broken.) Tulips, and the original varieties have not reached the present day. Modern Rembrandt Tulips are derived without a virus - from varieties demonstrating signs of this class. As a rule, they simultaneously fall into other classes.

Flower plague
Today, the bulbs of tulips in the Netherlands are sold at every step. If you believe Paula, the saleswoman of one of the numerous flower shops of Amsterdam, out of ten of her customers, six buy tulips: "These are inexpensive flowers. For three or five euros you can buy a bouquet of 10 pieces. The price of them practically does not change from the season for the season. Let's say if we earn on roses only on special "romantic" cases like Valentine's Day, then the tulips are buying constantly - and without reason. "

In the XVII century, this even was impossible to imagine. Then the prices for tulips grew every day. Fashion for a novelty spread among the best royal gardens of Europe. The tulip turned into a symbol of status and prosperity, they wanted to possess aristocrats and those who sought their circles.
In the 1630s, the Netherlands were in a state of economic heyday and became the main trading and financial center of Northern Europe. Thanks to the luck of the Dutch West Indian company, colonized a number of land, including part of the Portuguese Brazil, many have made a decent capital, which was necessary to invest in something. Fashionable and expensive tulips came to the way.
Initially, trade in exotic plants was carried out in April - May, that is, during their flowering, but with an increase in demand, speculators appeared, which began to sell bulbs, and then simply receipts about the right of their acquisition in the future. That is, the sellers have come true tulips, which they have not yet had or whom they did not exist at all in nature.
In the tulip pool rushed with heads and ordinary people. It was something like "Pir" during the plague, raging in 1633-1637. In the face of deadly disease, financial risks did not seem essential, and many were ready to invest in popular flowers all that they have. The cooking tulips entered the story under the title "Tulip" ( tulpenmanie.). The peak of the flower fever fell on December 1636 - by this moment the prices for tulips rose 20 times compared with October of the same year. There is a legend, as if in that amazing period of the history of the Netherlands of one English seaman stared behind the bars only because he ate the bulb. The poor fellow pulled a trophy with someone's garden, confusing it with a conventional bow. At the cost of the "dish" turned out to be equivalent to the annual diet of the entire carriage of the ship.

Joker who made up the lists of good, which could be bought on them: 8 fat piglets, 4 oxen, 12 faded sheep, 24 tons of wheat, 48 tons of rye, 2 veil barrels, 4 beer barrels, 2 tons of oil, 500 kilograms of cheese, bed With a mattress and bed linen, a suit, a silver mug and a ship that could take it all.
In January 1637, when new market participants could not afford even the cheapest bulb, the bubble burst. On April 27, 1637, the Government banned futures contracts. As a result of a sharp drop in the market, thousands of ordinary people were ruined. However, the state did not interfere in disputes between sellers and buyers, as the tulip market developed isolated from the country's economy. And she suffered quite slightly.

READING ROOM "The Society of Gardeners Gaarlem turned out to be at a proper height, sacrificing 100,000 florines for the bulb of the tulip. The city did not wish to fall behind him and allocated the same amount for the organization of the festival in honor of the award award. And now Sunday, appointed for this ceremony, has become a day of popular education. Unusual enthusiasm covered citizens.

Healthy harvest
With the famous share of wisdom, negative experience works better than positive. From the Gorky lesson, the Dutch made useful conclusions and did not refuse the flower. More accessible tulips began to cultivate on an industrial scale. By 1844, about 5000 varieties were displayed.
Today, 22,500 hectares of land are given in Holland under the cultivation of tulips, which grows about three billion colors: two of them are exported, and one remains in the country. If all these tulips fall out at a distance of 10 centimeters from each other, they are seven times regenerate the equator.
Surprisingly, but a flower born in Asia, the climate of the Netherlands approached as it is impossible. Under the breeding of colors, sandy soils were gradually adapted from the coast of the North Sea, as a result of which the famous region DUIN-EN BOLLENSTREEK (Gall. "The region of Dunes and Lukovitz") is one of the most visited places in the Netherlands.
Aryaan Smith belongs 18 hectares of the Earth, on which it annually grows up to 10 million tulips. He is the owner of a family firm Arjan Smit., among other supplied flowers at auction Floraholland..
"For the cultivation of tulips, we resort to the latest technologies," says Smith. - Outside the season, the bulbs are in a special freezer. Two weeks before landing in the greenhouse, they are placed in the tanks filled with rainwater, which we collect from the roofs of greenhouses. During the level of rooting, the bulbs particularly need moisture, so we use a special system with filters, in which water is constantly circulating and cleared, but it retains an organic precipitate. This allows you to get high-quality tulips. In the greenhouses, flowers ripen in three weeks. "
Special machines cut ripened tulips and facing bouquets that have passed computer quality control. Firm Arjan Smit. Not only bouquets, but also the bulbs, in particular those derived by the owner personally.

"Every year we deliver a new variety to the market. This year I introduced a tulip tiliro.. In his name, the names of my children - Tim, Lisa and Rose are connected. The subject of special pride - grade royal Virgin.. This is an ideal white tulip. It took fifteen years to create it, "says Arian. - Why so long? For several years, it goes to crush different varieties and grow seedlings. After that, we choose the best and test, we test for many years in a row. The new grade should differ from already existing - either in color or shape or resistance. The more features, the higher the value. "

LEGEND Black tulip does not exist in nature, despite numerous attempts to bring it. The flower was famous thanks to the novel by Alexander Duma "Black Tulip". It takes about the events of 1672, when Harlem's municipality announced a premium in the amount of 100,000 florines to the author of such a flower. The writer allegedly inspired the legend of the gaga shoemaker, who stated that he had a black tulip - the dream of every gardener. Hearing this, the syndicate of Florists Harlem decided to get a rare flower. After a short bargaining, the shoemaker agreed to 1500 florines and made a tulip buyers. Florists threw the flower on the floor and trampled, exclaiming: "Idiot! We also have a black tulip, and you will no longer have a chance to grow it. " And finally added that if the owner had asked, it could pay 10,000 florines. On the same evening the shoemaker hanged himself. Tulips grades Black Hero and Ice Wonder. Photo: East News |
Children flower
In the system of Netherlands values, tulip occupies a special place. For the Dutchman, it is considered an honor, when for special merits before the fatherland is called a new variety. Among the most revered citizens of the country, which earned their "star" flower, Danny's football player Blind, former Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende and Astronaut Andre Köypers. And for ordinary residents of the Netherlands, the tulip remains just a favorite flower, affordable and always welcome.
"Tulips are the same symbol of our country as cheese or marijuana," says 60-year-old Greta Hopma. - What is popular: tulips or grass? Probably the police know better. But our tulips love everything. "
Greta lives in the north of the country in Groningen. In his grandchildren's time, she is not averse to the garden, where the tulips grows among other colors. And 40 years ago, this woman was hippie to the bone's brain. Like her husband. Such as they called "children of flowers": they decorated themselves with flowers, gave them to passersby and inserted into the weapons. Protesting against public men, local hippies achieved large social changes, thanks to which the Netherlands gained a reputation as the freedom-loving country in the world.

Hippie loved everything bright and catchy. Many Dutch still prefer bright accents in clothing, in the interior, in the surrounding situation. Tulips decorate almost every windowsill in Amsterdam. "They are so different, so everyone likes," says Greta. - I often hear that in our country is gray and that tulips compensate us a lack of bright colors. This is not true! In the Netherlands, it is more often sunny than overcast. But tulips are spring flowers, they bring a feeling of joy. They are always sold in a bouquet, no need to break their heads, how to make it. Suitable for any age and occasion - graduation, wedding, funeral. Small, comfortable, without barns do not need special care. What else ... they are simple, friendly and friendly, like us, Dutch. "

Brought me a friend of the bulbs of tulips from Amsterdam. I also asked her to go to the flower market in the city and buy me real Dutch tulips. Time of course is not the most suitable for purchase, but there was no other opportunity.
Brought bulbs. They are very big, in any case in our stores they look like it. But that the worst began to raise these bulbs. Apparently moisture, not dried. But it is a pity if such beauty disappears.
And I accepted the decision to hold another experiment, put the pitched bulbs in the pots.
That's what tulips came to me in the village.
I understand that the bulbs are definitely needed to disinfect. I have a margin of manganese, is kept for a long time. We need to hold the bulbs in the solution.
Here is such a solution prepared
Placed the bulbs in it
And then put in such containers.
Here is the experiment and began. I will definitely post the pictures how the fate has the fate of these lows. I really want to save them, and then in a normal land, on the flower, so that this beauty pleased.
Who kept the lows at home, write where to put them, so that they are preserved - in heat, cold, in a dry room or wet. I will be very grateful for the advice.

But the fields can still be caught along the route in the north of the Netherlands, around the cities of Drachten, Groningen.
Today in Holland under the cultivation of tulips, more than 22 thousand hectares of the Earth, which grows about three billion colors growing. Two thirds of them are export, and only one third remains in the country. Tulips are the most important export goods of the Netherlands. By the way, the first tulips were brought from Constantinople in the 1550s. Surprisingly, the flowers born in Asia were surprising in the northern country.
In the Lisse area, you can find how huge combines cut ripened tulips and facing bouquets that have passed computer quality control. And those that do not match the quality remain at the roadside
Next to the park there is a market where the range of fresh bouquets and bulbs at times exceeds the one that on the famous flower market BloeMenmarkt in Amsterdam. Here is a bunch of 50 tulips in Lisse worth 3-5 euros, in Amsterdam 10 euros:
