So
colorful, so fragrant; you’re lured as if they’re sirens! One can’t
really help but stop and smell the roses or swoon over the robust bright
yellows and eye catching lavender and purples. Who wouldn’t want to
treat themselves a stem or two to brighten up their spaces and to
provide the connection with nature that is often lost! And if not,
you’re yet to see Bloemenmarkt-one of the largest flower markets of the
world. From bouquets that will capture your gaze and heart to
multicolored cacti, this market has basically everything!
r
The Bloemenmarkt is the world's only floating flower market.It was established founded in 1862 and is situated in Amsterdam,Netherlands on Singel canal in between Muntplein and
Koningsplein. Currently there are 15 florist shops and garden shops
alongwith some souvenir gift stores.This market supplies flowers to the
central Amsterdam. It has since developed into the best-known flower market of Holland.It is also one of the favourite tourist spots in Amsterdam.
The
Singel flower market is one of the most colorful and fragrant places of
interest of Amsterdam in all four seasons. It is unique in that the
merchandise is displayed on floating barges. This is a relic from the
days when the flowers and plants sold at this market were shipped in
from the horticultural areas around the city by barges. Fresh flowers
are still brought in every day; by vans, however, and no longer by boat.
Whatever
your favorite flower, you are bound to find it here. Merchandise ranges
from the traditional Dutch tulips and geraniums to delicate indoor
cypresses and manobole plants from the Easter Islands. Typically Dutch
souvenirs are sold too.
Everywhere you look there is color and fragrance. It’s open all year, but of course the offerings of live flowers and plants are seasonal.
There are hundreds of varieties of flowers, shrubs, tools, seeds and
bulbs on sale. You can also find a variety of cacti and bonsai plants.
Wooden tulips and tulip magnets are a novelty here.
The prices are reasonable and the great advantage is that the choice of flowers seems unlimited! These flowers are highly recommended to any guy who wants to make an impression and make a lady feel special. So next time when you’re in Amsterdam, make sure to check out this landmark if you're a flower-lover or inveterate truck farmer.
