Dutch tulips and windmills.

Tulip is the most widely planted flower in the Netherlands and the national flower of the Netherlands. Due to the suitable climate, historical origin, strong government support and other factors, the local tulip planting industry has been greatly stimulated. In addition, as the world's largest flower exporter, the Netherlands accounts for a large proportion of tulip exports. In the world, whenever tulips are mentioned, they will be associated with the Netherlands. Tulips have become synonymous with Dutch countries.

People often call the Netherlands "the country of windmills", not only because of its considerable geographical environment (the Netherlands is located in the prevailing westerly belt of the earth, and the westerly winds blow all year round. At the same time, it is close to the Atlantic Ocean, and it is also a typical maritime climate country, with land and sea winds all the year round. This provides Holland, which lacks water power and power resources, with generous compensation for using wind power, and provides power convenience for Dutch mills, sawmills and paper mills.

Moreover, the appearance of Dutch windmills has the bewilderment of fairy tale world, rotating, extending and bending. Seemingly static, but full of dynamic, dynamic and static integration, can not help but daydream, meaning charm, legend, eternity, profound and meaningful, people love.

Tulip Legend

There is a legend about the origin of tulips in Holland: there was a beautiful girl in ancient times, and three warriors fell in love with her at the same time. One gave her a crown, one gave her a sword and the other gave her a piece of gold. But she doesn't love anyone, so she has to pray to the flower god. The flower god deeply felt that love could not be forced, so he turned the crown into flowers, the sword into green leaves, and the gold into stems and roots, which together became a tulip.
