"Tulips! Tulips! Tulips! And lasagna!! (Well lasagne)

 by Shelby Isbill


For the Netherlands, tulips are important for trade and export, but growing tulips are harder than one might think.  In order to get the biggest and best bulbs for export, the tulips are replanted every year until matured.  In order to save space and maximum bulb production, they plan them using the lasagne style.  They plant the youngest bulbs that will take the longest to bloom on the bottom then the next size and then the biggest bulbs on top so that they will grow at different times in the same place!
