Which do you think is strongest?  Be sure to let us know why. <\/p>\n<h3>Next Year In Holland<\/h3>\n<p>Despite a 100-year record cold spring with very few tulip fields in bloom this trip has been a spectacular success.  The colors and variety of tulips at Keukenhof simply stun the mind and the senses. Denise and I are planning our Holland trip for next year: the  Keukenhof Creative Tulip Photography IPT with a Touch of Holland.
