Looking out, she sees a patchwork of tulip fields. According to Dorien, “Daffodil fields become a single yellow mass, but a variety of tulips planted side by side result in a range of gorgeous hues. It’s an incredible sight to behold.”</p></div>

<div class="canvas"><p>Van den Berg grew up surrounded by flower-bulb fields, with frogs croaking and birds singing. She remembers being happy. “In these flower bulb sheds, my father and his neighbors talked about their small parcels of private land intersected by ditches. They always discussed the weather. Whether they could plant or dig up the bulbs or harvest the flowers. They looked up at the sky and knew what weather was coming.”</p><p>The entire family took care of the flower bulbs. Says Dorien: “During school lunch breaks, I went home to help my father cut back the irises or count cut flowers. We ate a hot lunch, my grandfather at one end of the table and my father at the other. Traditional and safe.”</p></div>

<div class="canvas"><p>Dorien chose to travel around the world. As a flower stylist, she decorated palaces for Middle Eastern sheiks, arranged flowers for weddings in Japan, and taught in Lebanon. Always using Dutch flowers, naturally. The Netherlands was proud when she was invited as a guest on Martha Stewart’s American TV show, where she talked about the beauty of Dutch lilies as “Miss Lily”. </p><p>Although she lived like a diva, she retained her practical Dutch attitude. The stylist changed traditional methods, for instance the structure of a bouquet of lilies. While these used to be stuck into floral foam in a white pot, Dorien arranged the stems in large, glass vases with LED lighting. Her floral shapes became popular. “I work with nature but use modern techniques.” She always feels at ease around flowers. </p></div>

<h2 class="section__story-title">The world behind flower bulbs</h2>
<div class="canvas"><p>All flowers stem from the flower bulb fields before they are cut, taken to the auction house, and end up at the flower shop. A lot of work has been done before a bulb is planted into the soil to flower. Many growers have a lab where they improve flowers. This means that they combine seeds and/or pollen to create stronger flowers that are more resistant to diseases and pests or that will become hits due to a fantastic new color, scent or shape. </p><h3 id="Cross_pollination_at_the_lab-anchor">Cross pollination at the lab</h3><p>It’s not as easy as it sounds. Obtaining a new variety without losing the original’s positive traits is like a game of poker. It may take up to twenty years to cultivate a new tulip variety. Laboratories are generally shrouded in secrecy and discoveries result in huge excitement, picking a name for the new variety and ensuring its official registration. The names are imaginative and include Lingerie, Triple A, Heartbreaker, and Og3NE. </p></div>

<div class="section__body ">
<div class="canvas"><p>The most well-known flower bulb ‘sanctuaries’ in the Netherlands can be found in the region south of Amsterdam, in the uppermost part of the province of North Holland, and in a section of the province of Flevoland. This is where tulips, crocuses, daffodils and hyacinths flower from the end of March through the end of May. In summer, they make way for gladiolas, dahlias, carnations, and asters. In other words, tourists can enjoy the view throughout the year. </p><p>The reason why flowers flourish here more than in, for instance, the south of the Netherlands is a mysterious combination of acidity, sea air and sand, among other things. In short, the sand dunes by the sea were used to build chic mansions for rich merchants who lived inland over four centuries ago. A gorgeous mansion obviously needed beautiful flowers. The excavated dune soil on which peat had grown was found to be the perfect breeding ground for tulips, daffodils, crocuses, and other flowers. </p></div>

<div class="canvas"><p data-wm-forced-paragraph="true">The humid, salty air, perfect aeration and acidity proved a match made in heaven. And the Dutch climate definitely helps. The cold ‘shocks’ flower bulbs, which they need to grow from a marble to the size of a small tennis ball. Regular rain ensures height and beauty. This is the weather preferred by spring flowering bulbs (such as tulips), whereas summer flowering bulbs prefer the dark. The Dutch themselves prefer to be warm and dry while enjoying the light so they tend to complain about the weather.</p></div>

<div class="canvas"><p>It started with a single tulip bulb from Turkey, called the Tulipan or turban in English (<em>tulband </em>in Dutch<em>).</em> It may have been named after the shape of the turbans worn by Turkish men. Dutch merchants who sailed the world in the prosperous 17th century, trading spices and luxury products, brought the tulip bulb home to what was then called the Republic of the Seven United Netherlands. </p><p>The enterprising spirit and infrastructure of the Dutch enabled them to be the ones to put the tulip on the map instead of the Turks. They took the opportunity to develop the tulip trade. We already had waterways and roads for transport, and gardeners became experts at developing new varieties for their wealthy landowners. Often, it was a mystery what flower would emerge. Tulips with stripes and flames on their petals often resulted from virus infections, which was not known at the time but the result was much admired. <br>Tulips became all the rage in 17th century Europe, </p><blockquote>with ladies of the French court paying 300 guilders for a tulip worn in their décolletage. </blockquote></div>

Some traders sold their tulip bulbs before they even touched the soil. Naturally, this trade in tulip bulbs was doomed to fail. Economists consider the 17th century tulip mania the first wave of speculation or economic bubble, comparable to the financial crisis of 1929, the internet hype in the 1990s, the credit crisis, and the rise of the bitcoin.</p></div>

<p>The red tulip is the global favorite, red being a positive color in many cultures. It is the first color to catch the eye.</p>

</div><p></p></div></aside>
<div class="canvas"><p data-wm-forced-paragraph="true">After centuries of ups and downs, the trade in ornamental flowers goes through a period of growth after WWII. Like the food industry, mechanization leads to increases of scale, and artificial fertilizers and pesticides cause the Dutch flower-growing industry to conquer the world. More and more gardeners leave their wealthy bosses to start their own nurseries. The Netherlands manages to deliver great amounts of ornamental flowers at low prices throughout the year. Today, the Netherlands is number five on the list of countries by export. More than 80 percent of all flower bulbs worldwide are grown in the Netherlands.</p></div>

<p class="bio__description">Selfmade man. Started at Van den Bos lilies in the Westland at the age of 26 and made this company the largest exporter in the world. In addition to his business instinct, a study in philosophy and Tony Robbins' master classes also contributed to this success.</p>

<div class="canvas"><p data-wm-forced-paragraph="true">Flower growers are early birds, mainly because the auction clock used to start up at six in the morning. Basically, the lights in the greenhouses are on 24x7. Flowers are grown throughout the year as natural conditions are reproduced in these beautiful glass structures so characteristic of the Dutch landscape. While nothing happens to a lily at 0 degrees Centigrade, it starts to grow at a temperature of twenty degrees and then becomes unstoppable. Nature can be simulated this way, for instance to supply red roses just before Valentine’s day. </p></div>

<div class="canvas"><p>Hans Kleijwegt, the mogul of lilies, is the real deal. When he walks through the greenhouses and is alone with his ‘girls’, he talks to them. With a smile, he adds that “they never talk back.”</p><p>Kleijwegt is a perfect example of a self-made man who became successful in the Dutch ornamental flower business. As the son of a farmer, he was supposed to take over his father’s tomato and red pepper farm but felt it took too long. To put pressure on his dad, he applied for a job at the Van den Bos flower bulb company in Honselersdijk. He didn’t expect to be hired but got the job. </p><p>He grew within the organization and turned Van den Bos into the world’s biggest lily bulb export company. Every year, the company ships 250 million bulbs. And it is not just his business instinct that is at the root of Kleijwegt’s success. The entrepreneur also studied philosophy and sociology and took masterclasses with the American self-help guru Tony Robbins in his leisure time. What drives him? “I like the international life. I have traveled to 50 countries, lived in California for five years, and run businesses in Chile and Ethiopia. After 40 years in the business, my heart still bursts when I walk through the greenhouses. A flower bulb is the beginning of a natural product that brings happiness to people all over the world. The lily innovates. For instance, we are already growing scentless varieties.”</p></div>

<div class="canvas"><p>Traditionally, lilies are mainly grown in the province of North Holland but that is also shifting to other places in the Netherlands. And in Chile, where a lot of land is available and the process requires fewer chemicals. </p><p>Its scent, its budding, its blooming and its death - there is a lot of symbolism in a lily according to Kleijwegt. “During the ancient Greek and Roman times, brides wore a crown of lilies hoping for a pure and fertile life. To the older generation, however, lilies are associated with death and funerals. For younger people, lilies are a symbol of happiness and virginal love.”</p></div>

<div class="canvas"><p>When asked what makes the Netherlands the quintessential country of flowers, he doesn’t hesitate. “We invented the sharing economy before it became a trend. Here in Naaldwijk, companies are clustered close together around the auction house, the centralized trading center, of which we are all a part and where we share knowledge and experience. Perhaps our common belief in the Westland region also contributes to that sense of community. Of course, the companies are competitors, but there is also a joint interest. The Dutch economy is called the ‘polder model’ for a reason.”</p><p>That may need some explanation. The polder model is a typically Dutch term that stands for consultation. Because the Netherlands is largely below sea level, polders were flooded on a regular basis. This problem had to be solved by the community, so farmers put aside their conflicts for the greater good. Today, the polder model also symbolizes the Dutch political consultation structure in which several parties rule together and where everyone’s ideas and beliefs are taken into account. It is unique in the world.</p></div>

<h2 class="section__story-title">Flowers in Dutch art</h2>
<div class="canvas"><p>Vincent van Gogh has his sunflowers, Piet Oudolf his grasses, Bas Meeuws his digital flower still lifes, Marcel Wanders his tulip and dahlia chair, Studio Drift its <em>Meadow</em> light installation, Ermi van Oers her Living Light plants, the photographer Elspeth Diederix her Miracle Garden, Fleurien Dingemans her Power of Flower. Google these names and you’ll get a kaleidoscope of flower impressions.</p><p>What do these people have in common? They are Dutch eccentrics with genius minds and they all love flowers. Even an absolutely non-figurative artist like Piet Mondrian (1872-1944) always painted flowers in between his abstract works. The sensational way in which they bloom, their rich symbolism, and their wealth of color are beloved in every era. </p></div>

<div class="canvas"><p>The origin of this love also roughly lies in the 17th century, which has been called the Golden Age or the first glory days of Dutch flowers. Since flowers remained fresh for only a limited amount of time and people wanted to enjoy them throughout the year, still life paintings became ever more popular. Fantasy and imagination ruled since a still life painting could contain many flowers that did not actually bloom at the same time. Slowly but surely, painting flowers became an art.</p><p>It was a popular genre from the 17th through the 19th centuries. The Dutch brothers Gerard and Cornelis van Spaendonck, for instance, traveled to Paris to paint flowers on walls, canvas and tiles at the royal court of King Louis XVI and other locations. Towards the end of the 19th century, modernist painters like Vincent van Gogh also started to paint flowers and flower still lifes. Van Gogh painted sunflowers for the first time in 1886 and kept coming back to them throughout his life. In one of the many letters he wrote to his brother Theo when he lived in France with the French artist Paul Gauguin, he said: “The sunflower belongs to me, it is my personal artistic signature.” </p><p>Cutting off his own ear two years later was an act of blind rage reflecting his mental illness. Although he was suffering at the time, we continue to enjoy his work. The Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam has 200 paintings and 500 drawings on display and also runs a great museum shop with a range of products featuring the great painter’s work. </p><p>The Dutch are quite headstrong as a people. Take the landscape architect Piet Oudolf (75) from Hummelo, who became world-famous thanks to his grass gardens (High Line and Remembrance in New York, Chelsea Flower Show in England) but also designed the gardens around Museum Voorlinden. An atypical thinker who saw the beauty of plants and flowers after they bloomed. He gave dead plants and weeds a new lease on life. Says Oudolf: “Gardening is usually a well-organized activity; stuff must always be flowering and look 100% perfect. I let go of that idea. Many plants look good for a long time after they die off, even when they’ve passed the ‘best by’ date.” </p></div>

<div class="canvas"><p>Whether it concerns improvement, greenhouse building or increasing sustainability, our country is at the forefront of innovation. The Silicon Valley of the flower world. Albert Haasnoot, program manager of sustainability, knows why: “For centuries now, growers have been sharing knowledge and experience. It allowed them to specialize and become unbeatable in terms of quality and creativity.”</p><blockquote>Growth through collaboration and sharing</blockquote></div>
<div class="canvas"><p>Entrepreneurs collaborate with universities, including Wageningen university of agriculture, on biotechnology and molecular DNA technologies, aiming to improve the resistance of their crops to diseases and pests. Our country is also a model of sustainability where it concerns greenhouse building. Solar collectors are installed on the glass roof of greenhouses, deploying the excess energy to provide heat to residential neighborhoods in winter and to help cool the greenhouses in summer.</p><p>Geothermie Westland is another project that is garnering international attention. Hot water (140 degrees Centigrade) is pumped up from four kilometers below the Earth’s surface and the heat generated from it is used for 475 homes, 30 horticultural businesses in the Westland, and the huge halls of Royal FloraHollland in Naaldwijk.</p><p>The Dutch also do a lot of research on substituting natural compounds for chemical crop protection agents. Thrips, the much-feared white insect with ragged wings, is enemy number 1 in the greenhouses. Radical methods were used to combat it in the past, but today the juice of a specific plant is used to kill the insects instead. “It was created through collaboration with seven horticultural companies,” says Haasnoot with pride. They are even using tracking dogs in an experiment to combat an invisible fungus in Amaryllises, a very popular flower. The Dutch are true innovators and will try anything. </p><p>Lily growers are already growing lilies without pollen, so consumers don’t have to deal with yellow stains when the flowers wilt. There are also new innovations regarding the scent of lilies: lilies that don’t have a scent, or even one that smells like a Chanel perfume. </p></div>

<div class="section__body ">
<div class="canvas"><p>Research increasingly shows that ‘green’ is more than just beautiful. Greenery generates oxygen, is a savior in the battle against air pollution and climate change, and makes people healthier and happier. Dutch landscape architects are building green cities around the world, and we are making huge efforts to introduce more greenery into our own cities.</p><p>Amid all the hustle and bustle of technical innovations is the more restrained approach of Loofwerk, flower growers and atelier. Mariëtte Kamphuis grows “slow flowers” organically and in the open ground at the Op Hodenpijl estate near Delft. In her arrangements and still lifes, she uses flowers reflecting the season. Daffodils in the spring, and branches, dried flowers, grasses and seed heads in winter. Says Kamphuis: “The renewed appreciation of the natural rhythm of the four seasons does not represent an impoverishment but rather a huge enrichment.”</p></div>

<p class="bio__description">Owns flower export company Barendsen in Aalsmeer. He is always traveling, and prclaims his love of flowers far and wide. In his own country, all professionals are familiar with Jan's Tiny Flower Boat, on which he conducts interviews about his passion: FLOWERS.</p>

<div class="canvas"><p data-wm-forced-paragraph="true">A big man in a small silly boat. Jan de Boer: Troublemaker. You can often see him on the water near Brasserie de Haven in Aalsmeer. Jan de Boer, entrepreneur and owner of the Barendsen flower export company, can be found on his Tiny Flower Boat. A boat sporting a small house with purple awnings. De Boer never has meetings in the office; he prefers to have them on his boat, sailing the Westeinder Plassen lakes. Professionals in the flower business worldwide are familiar with “Jan’s boat”. </p></div>

<div class="canvas"><p>Jan de Boer likes being loud and to rock the boat (figuratively that is). Colleagues call him ‘the troublemaker export expert’ but he is far from crazy. He just likes to do things differently. He’ll gets ten brides to visit a tradeshow to market his bridal flowers, prefers to wear flower shoes, and doesn’t hesitate to call out politicians if he doesn’t like what they do.</p><p>Jan de Boer loves the Netherlands, the land of flowers. “There are so many different people working with flowers in so many different ways. When you add it all up, you can definitely say we’re a nation that is crazy about flowers. I see passionate people who want to promote our business all over the place. That includes well educated young people. They are the ones that give me energy. Everything changes in the world, except the love for our profession. </p><blockquote>This is about passion, passion, passion, love, love, love.</blockquote><p>Did the flower growers’ passion for their flowers move you? The Dutch flower story can be experienced in many places and in every season! From flowering fields in spring to flower parades and gardens in fall, but also through flowers in art, visiting the international flower auction house, or strolling through the Netherlands’ oldest botanical garden.</p></div>
