Royal flowers of the Netherlands

Royal Dutch Flowers is a tribute to the beauty of bulb plants. Photographer Dennis A-Tjak has captured tulips, daffodils and hyacinths - many bearing royal names - in all their glory. He finds beauty even in their wilted state. His attention to light and lighting often recalls the great Dutch master painters of the 17th century. Author Rien Meijer has researched the history and names of the flowers pictured, leading him to discover many interesting anecdotes.
