It is always fun photographing the opening of the Dutch tulip season, as National Tulip Day comes to town. . On this day everyone is invited to pick their own tulip for free from a specially constructed ‘picking garden’ at Amsterdam’s Dam Square! National Tulip Day brings Dutch tulip growers together for the creation of a massive temporary garden on Dam Square, bursting with around 200,000 tulips. More than 10,000 people come along to pick up their own free tulip.
