I had a student from Madrid who worked for me in New Jersey (he was a blonde Spaniard) and he found a girl to date who was also blond but she spoke Spanish. She was a descendant of Dutch settlers in Argentina.
I wonder if that Dutch settlement can successfully grow their tulips there? I grew up in a small Dutch community in Iowa. It was an unspoken rule that you MUST plant tulips in your garden :-)
I spent a year living on a houseboat in Amsterdam Noord on a canal and when the tulip season came, there were boat after boat of cut tulips. Beautiful.
That makes me wonder about the tulip farmers in the Netherlands. They are a large part of the farming product. It is their claim to fame, with such a long history, plus the perfect growing conditions for tulips. They really can’t pick up and move their farms anywhere else. It wouldn’t be the same.
Interesting!
