Hello My Friends! Morning Quiz, Aerial Style.
What, ho! I’m back from the treacherous wilds of my far-flung vacanza, and let me tell you; I’m going to need to slide back into this blogging gig slowly. I’ve had nothing but lazy afternoons and trashy novels for a week. Also a medieval horse race and and an accident in Chianti. But that’s another story.
Here are some pictures for you. Your challenge: tell me what’s going on here!
PS. Hat tip to Allen Murabayashi, who is the best guest blogger i’ve ever seen. Cheer, Cheer, Cheer, Allen!
Don’t quit my day job, Allen.
With more than 10,000 hectares devoted to the cultivation of these delicate flowers, the Dutch landscape in May is a kaleidoscope of giddy colours as the tulips burst into life.
The bulbs were planted in late October and early November, and these colourful creations are now ready to be picked and sold as bunches of cut flowers in florists and supermarkets.
More than three billion tulips are grown each year and two-thirds of the vibrant blooms are exported, mostly to the U.S. and Germany.

My guess was going to be a Paul Smith publicity stunt, but I suppose Dutch flowers makes sense as well.
Bad Caption Info. Actually tulips and daffodils are picked before the flower buds open. What is actually shown here are the flowers allowed to open after the picking season is over. The bulbs can then be harvested and sold to gardeners throughout the world. Yes, I did guess it. Bob Croxford
