Tulip in Netherland
We will be in Amsterdam in the last week of May this year. I have noticed in different site that Tulip can be seen till 20th May. I would like to know that will it be all over exactly on 20th? It is something unbelievable . Can anyone guide me the actual fact so that I can enjoy Tulip on25/26 May.

We were there the first weekend in May last year and the tulips were starting to be cut in the fields and the flowers bloomed late last year due to a cold spring. I doubt the fields will still be in bloom that late in May.
Even the famous Keukenhof gardens close on 18 May so unfortunately I think you are going to miss the tulips.

nytraveller, that was probably 2007, when Keukenhof closed early. We had a ridiculously warm spring with tulips already blooming in March.
It has been a very mild winter this year so they could well be early again this year.
Even in a cold year though they are over by late May.

Thank you all for your valuable suggestions. What jamikins said I can see tulip in the market, I feel that will for selling purpose. not in the garden. I feel that I will miss the tulip.
Thank you all again, Any further suggestion are welcome.
