Bountiful blooming blossoms from around the world Posted on 21 April 2020 Spring has sprung across the Northern Hemisphere, with some of the most beautiful flowers bursting into full bloom. While South Africa gears up for winter, we can live vicariously through social media and admire the flora of other countries from the comfort of home. Netherlands The Netherlands is famous for its brightly coloured tulips. These flowers are an absolute treat to the eye and blossom in a multitude of colours. Rich reds, deep purples and different pastel petals are emerging across the country. Tulip fields are an extraordinary sight to behold.

This is an extremely popular time of year for visitors, but since no one is going anywhere anytime soon, the photographs will have to suffice. Cherry or ‘sakura’ blossom season sees people and their families going to marvel over the flowers, a practice known as ‘Hanami’ or flower viewing. There are many traditional cultural experiences to participate in too.
