Amsterdam: Flower Market

Remember when we went to Amsterdam in September? I've been so back-logged in getting these photos up!

Here's a few from the gorgeous Bloemenmarkt, Amsterdam's famous flower market.  The flower stalls are actually on barges, floating in the Singel canal.  Traditionally the flowers were brought in via barges into the canal, hence the floating flower market (held first back in 1862).

Some of these flowers I'd never even seen before.  The tulips in the cans are actually WOODEN tulips, aren't they gorgeous?  As we couldn't bring back real tulip bulbs, I brought back mini wooden ones.

What is your favourite flower?

These flower markets were my favourite place to go each week.
I think I spent many salaries just buying flowers. It is one of the things I miss the most since not living there anymore.

Thanks so much for sharing.
