Every year on the 3rd Saturday in January people in the Netherlands celebrate #NationalTulipDay. Amsterdam's Museum Square turns into a huge tulip garden filled with flowers. Everyone is invited to come and pick a bouquet!
A watercolor drawing of a somewhat blousy looking white tulip on a stalk with three leaves. Toward the top left, sitting on a petal, is a black and yellow beetle. Toward the right edge, about a third of the way from the bottom, sits a garden tiger moth.

Even the flock couldn’t resist stopping to admire the blooms.
Fresh air, bright colours, and good company—just how we like it.

A darkish image of a still life painting. At the viewer's left is a vase containing one tulip on a stem, no leaves, sitting on a thick block of wood. Next to it, in the middle of the painting, is a shallow white bowl in which sits a deeper, smaller white bowl; there may be a spoon handle sticking out of the smaller bowl. At the viewer's right is a reddish jug with an ear-shaped handle and a lid. To the far right, beyond the wood block, there appears to be a wall.
