Jardines del Rijksmuseum llenos de tulipanes de color rosa claro en primavera - Ámsterdam, Países Bajos - Fotografía de stock

Amsterdam, Netherlands - April 15, 2023: Rijksmuseum gardens full of light pink tulips in springtime. It was in the 16th century that tulips were imported to Holland from the Ottoman Empire (present-day Turkey). Just a few years after arriving in Holland, tulips became the most sought-after commodity in the entire Netherlands, after Carolus Clusius wrote what's considered the first major book about the flower. To this day, tulips are associated with the Netherlands, and the cultivated forms of the tulip are often called "Dutch tulips". Tulip season runs from the end of March until mid May.
