Keukenhof, Lisse, The Netherlands, April 11, 2014, My Gallery!

Hai all e:)

Yesterday, on Friday April 11, 2014; that was such a nice day! So my parents and I went to the Keukenhof in Lisse, The Netherlands e:)
Which is here:

Anyways Here my gallery of photo's I took while I was there, this topic will be quite long but I hope worth the read & look

After the entrance I took a left run and saw this as first sight:


And the smell were created by these ping Hyacinths as many other colored ones in the park:


After this we had come coffee and walked towards the Beatrix Orchid Gallery, which was in my opinion the most beautiful of the entire park, as an Orchid fan myself I obviously bought an Orchid there as well xDDDD

So after entering the Beatrix Orchid Gallery, this is what you get to see:


And these were the first ones that caught my attention xD


Then these were seen on the right across them pink ones:


And the further I looked the more I saw, just amazingly awesome, no better description I could find for it all

But this was just the beginning rofl xD

Then I saw these!


Then these!


And these were next to those:

Everywhere where I looked Orchids Orchids ORCHIDS xDDD tons of them!

One nicer than the other!


Seek the reflection xD

These were placed in square crate with mirror glass walls giving you an endless momentum of white orchids xD Which can mess with your brain if you stare in it too long rofl!

Some flowers were really massive like these white ones:


Here a closeup of one


Here the other side of that carriage, justsooo nice!


These dark ping spotted ones really caught my attention, just stunning in all ways!


These these Lila colored once, oh my!


Their plants incl roots look like this, no soil, nothing, just the plants themselves, quite amazing actually:

Not many plans can grow without soil heh.

Here a nice pic I took of two variations of Pink orchids


Then behind them pink ones was this hanging type with brownish colored flowers, an interesting one none the less! e:)


On the opposite side stood this lot!


They gave a summer feeling to mind as their color schemes went:


Like these all them red color patterns, just amazed me from what is even possible!


Or these golden yellow orange ones!

These would probably only grow in tropical places, just how they look like, never seen anything like them before!

Here one the shape of a star, just stunning for word to even describe!!!!


Behind them tropical ones were this lot...just so niiice xDDDDD

I really loved them deep pink ones, so vivid of color!

Then there was the tuns of Orchids, I was just shocked to amazed of the view of this! This is what you get when you look through it

Soooooo niiice and sooo many too!!!!!

Left from that were these



Up close they look like this, so many textures and colors, just amazed me e:)



These could be seen next to them



This is the entire lot of this side, just awesome looking!



At the left rear corner of the Beatrix Orchid Gallery Hall were these deep pink colored orchids

From here I walked all the way back to where I have entered the compound rofl xD
So here is what I saw along the way!

These large pink lily like orchids:



Here the entire lot



Then these lovely Miltonia's! They smelled lovely too!!!



After those this lovely display with them branches



Then this lovely lot, the orchids they just came and came, so many of them!!!



After that Dad and i Went up some stairs that lead towards the ceiling of the Beatrix Orchids Gallery
And from there I could make very nice top shots of the complex orchid display!

Here the Orchid Tunnel from above, showing everything else from the rear section of the Beatrix Orchid Gallery


And here from the Entrance section of this great gallery, showing a massing ring of white orchids hanging above everything down there! Just amazing!


Right of that you could see the pot of dark & light Pink Orchids, which were these:


After this we went down the stairs and went right, we then walked towards these interesting Lily like orchids:


Here a close up of on of the green ones:


One of two different yellow ones:


One of the white ones


And the other yellow one e:)


And the last ones I saw were these, still a lovely sight ya know!


And that were all the orchids of the Beatrix Orchid Gallery!

So after the Beatrix Orchid Gallery, we left the compound from the centre left door and waled towards the depth s of the park it's self

A lot of trees like these Meidoorn & Apple tree's showed their beauty  e:)


And here a lone apple tree, to which i think it was:


After that we headed to the left to a wind mil, dad and I climbed it mum stayed downstairs on a bench
And when up this is what could be see:

The Tulip farm fields of Lisse, not many were on blossom though, ah well better than nothing  e:)

So after that we took two right turns and entered the Japanese garden area, where lots of these Japanese Cherry trees were showing their great beauty      


Here an other Japanese Cherry Tree with it's blossom, in combination with some Bamboo and other plants e:)


And from here you can view through the Japanese garden it's self towards the south:


We then left the Japanese gardens and I made this shot along the way:

Lots of such lanes could be seen at Keukenhof e:)

We walked on to the centre of the mark and there I saw these lovely garden patches:


Here you can see that the outer grass outline is darker and of a different type than the grass used in the centre area's


I crouched on a bridge and leaned on it's railing and made this shot of endless daffodils xD

The sun also neatly penetrated the centre area, which left a very cool looking effect

We walked on towards the south and more Tulip garden patches popped up:


From pink to red tulips:


And we saw more nice looking flower patterns:


This garden is truly a piece of art  


Hyacinths, Tulips and Daffodils


Here the sun also penetrated the centre area leaving me to make the perfect shot again e:)


Here we neared the central compound named Willem Alexander, lots of flower wonders in there too!    


After entering Willem Alexander compound I panned to me left and saw this:


Then to the right and this could be seen:

This place was enormous!      

And in the centre of the entrance was this yellow flowered shrub e:)


So after walking towards the front left we came across this beauty!


Here a closeup, light & Dark pink, always a great combination!      


Here a closeup of a Tulipa Double Flaming Parrot flower:


Here the rest of them with the nameplate:


We walked onwards through this Tulip/Daffodil/Lily Gallery and this is what we saw as we pushed onwards towards the centre of the Willem Alexander Gallery:

Colors everywhere, where ever you looked, just amazing!      

From the left of that I saw these pink ones, so rich in color, just brilliant!      


Right across those were these rose like tulips:


We walked onwards and we just saw more and more, all sorts and sizes ad so many colors, just amazed us all!

Everyone was in their own little world, making pics & video's and discussing the flowers and such, so cool to see so many hobbyists doing their thing!  

Here a closeup I made of an alien looking Tulipa Cummins


Here the entire lot including the name plate:


Here the Willem Alexander Art Gallery:


Here a painting of people in a Tulip fiery style e:)


And here a landscape if covered with various colored tulips, a unique idea:

This Art gallery wasn't large it was in the centre of the complex, we pushed onwards towards the Restaurrant t the end of the Willem Alexander Flower Gallery.

Here the first Water Lilies we came across:


There were various sizes, colors types and different smells as well like these white ones:


And like these pink ones:


Or like these xD Gotta love them red stripes on them from the centre 8)Such striking colors there    


And while panning from the right of these these Tulips also stole the show :cheers: 


After those I looked to the right and saw this beautiful colored and textured lily with striking and vivid dark red colors:


left of those where these orange & yellow ones:


After those were these before we entered the restaurant e:)Daffodils that looked like roses!    


After exiting the restaurant, which was at the end of the Willem Alexander Gallery compound, we ventured forth towards the southen side of the park, so much more we say, the colours got more vivid and packed with detail!

Like this lot with the Hyacinths in the centre!


And left from that were this lot:


Further up along the left side where these, in front of a flower workshop:

A very neat combination of Purple Tulips and white mini daffodils e:)

opposite of those was this tree and beyond it many more things of pure beauty:


Here that same tree taken from the other side of it:


Left from that tree was this colorful flower patch:


And right from that you got the feeling f being in a world of flowers of all sorts kinds and so on, it created an endless feeling here.


Right from that these tree's  


opposite of those trees was this pond and rows of tulips growing along side it e:)


After that we walked onward and to the left was this lovely bow if flame like tulips:


Further up on the left I took this shot,which was just in front of the Oranje Nassau complex:


And panning off to the right were these:


Opposite of those were this lot:

This made you look towards the north-west of the park

The Oranje Nassau Complex had a display of a variety of roses, they also held workshops there.
Here a bunch of pink roses:


And lots of red roses!      


Here a closeup of them red roses, the details do show their high pristine qualities!      


From all the ditched stolen bikes that were thrown in the canals of Amsterdam xD
They were cleaned out and painted red for this display, well not all of them, but some where xD        


After exiting the Oranje Nassau complex, we entered it's back yard garden :)And I came across this sunny lot:


And after those were these looking back towards the Oranje Nassau complex:


After those to the right were these Pink colored Tulips:


After crossing a small bridge these could be seen on the right a mix of white and pink tulips, gave a very nice effect:


We walked on and found these, the purple, blue, white and pink color shades gave a very stunning combination!


This too gave a striking red look xD     Vivid red tulips anyone?


Here a girl stoling up a path of rocky stairs that lead up a hill of color!


And here the last image
