33 Amazing Photos of Keukenhof Gardens

This photo *might* just be my favorite I took at Keukenhof Gardens - I say that, but have thought the same about at least four other pictures. A stone path, covered in lined shadows, is curving to the left. It is flanked on both sides by predominantly pink tulips smattered with yellow and white. Pale pink hyacinths and green bell-like flowers also join the party. — *This photo *might* just be my favorite I took at Keukenhof Gardens – I say that, but have thought the same about at least four other pictures…*

If you haven’t already read my tips for visiting Keukenhof Gardens, you can head over here. This post is focused more on the amazing photographs that can be captured there. And hopefully convince you to add it to your bucket list/travel list!

First of all, Happy Pride Month! With everything going on in the world, I have waited to highlight it, but I think we are ready for a few rainbows! This post will be the first of a few I am planning for this month especially!

I feel like tulips and the Keukenhof Gardens get put in a box (not to mention the box the Netherlands gets put in generally for Amsterdam). People put the gardens in a box of just being a pretty place to see tulips, but it’s so much more-

It’s art
It’s installations
It’s creation
It’s inspiration
It’s expression
It’s a riot of colors
It’s culture
Keukenhof is more than tulips.

Thanks for listening to that little spiel. Yes, these pictures are gorgeous, and I hope you are compelled to visit. But these pictures are only a small portion of what you can experience. Furthermore, they are a riot of rainbows hues, which is just one reason I love gardens in general! They are like a constant representation for LGBTQIA+ pride (obviously not exactly, but colors can do so much good – I even pointed out how some of the color palettes look like pride flags). Even better, the installations, color choices, and theme change every year, so you are guaranteed to get a novel experience!

A warm hued field of tulips dominates the image in hues of deep burgundy, vibrant ruby, pale yellow, a mix of pale and brilliant pink, and spots of white and canary yellow. I am getting some pretty heavy lesbian pride flag vibes here even with the green. — *A warm pink-hued field of tulips.*

Red petaled tulips with yellow fringed edges fill the screen. — *Red petaled tulips with yellow fringed edges.*

In the center of the petals, there is a ring of dark black-purple inside a ring of honey yellow, which is inside a ring of magenta at the base of the petals. It's screaming gender-queer pride flag to me, anyone else? It's got an asexual/demi, agender, and even non-binary feel too. — *Purple-tinged daisies are inside some of the buildings too.*

A sea of purple dream lily flowered tulips are against a backdrop of green. — *A sea of purple dream lily flowered tulips.*

I feel like I have used the "magenta" description often, but what other color is there that's pink-ish red with a hint of purple? I'll call this dark pink, though, because it is different than the other colors! These double tulips are brightly lit, with white edges. Three of them share the spotlight, and one yellow center is peeking out. A few dark pink tulips scatter in the background, but the majority of the blurred back are pale purple daisies with sunny yellow centers. — *I feel like I have used the “magenta” description often, but what other color is there that’s pink-ish red with a hint of purple?*

At the base, red, orange, and yellow tulips draw interest. — *A tree has been shaped into wooden owls in one of the fields.*

Unique orchids provide a startling look into nature. The orchids have hot pink centers that branch out like veins into bright blue edges. The middle of the petals are almost translucent.

Trans flag anyone? — *Unique orchids provide a startling look into nature.*
