Amsterdam Bloemenmarkt Posted on 22 February 2012 and filed under Miscellaneous. This post is also available in: Croatian Last week I was in the Netherlands. I love the Netherlands very much, there are many reasons for it – why and what, another time. I was on the south, in the Province of Limburg, visited friends in Rotterdam, then spent a few days wandering around Amsterdam. There are many places in the city that I need to visit whenever there is a chance. Bloemenmarkt, the flower market, is one of them. For the likes of me, the flower market is a place where a person can spend hours, watching and browsing. For the start, tulips. Ah, tulips. Is there anyone who does not know that they are my favourite flowers and that my attachment to them borders with obsession? Apart from tulips… whatever you can think of that you would like to sow, plant or place in a vase – you are going to find it there. Yes, the market is quite a tourist place too, and a part of the merchandise – and prices, I would dare to say, are adjusted to that. Being a tourist myself, I better keep quiet. And about prices… At this flower market, you can buy 50 tulips for 10 to 7,50 EUR, depending on a shop’s position. Some 40 minutes walk further, at Albert Cuyp Market, you can buy them for 5 EUR. This means that price of a single tulip is from 0,10 to 0,20 EUR. The price of a single tulip in Zagreb is a tiny bit more than 1 EUR. Some difference is expected, the Netherlands, tulips, Croatia, transport, import duties, etc. But ten times more expensive? Ten? Ok, this is not supposed to be a rant about my frustration with tulip prices in Zagreb. Which anyway stops when the spring comes and I can satisfy my tulip needs watching some hundreds of them in my garden. This is not a post about fabrics or sewing either, at least not directly. This is a gallery of Amsterdam flower market photos. Hope you enjoy it! Amsterdam Bloemenmarkt – Amsterdam flower market. Sea of tulips. The entrance to one of shops. Further inside there are seeds, seedlings and everything related to gardening. Souvenirs too. Lilies and twigs. Amaryllis. Magnificent huge flower. It should be planted in a pot leaving top quarter or third above the soil. When in a week or two the stem starts to grow, it grows more than a centimeter a day. I witnessed it. Creation of the bud and opening of the flower is spectacular! Amaryllis bulbs. These babies are big! And no, this is not in the shop from the previous picture – here it was ok to touch the bulbs. Muscari. They grow in my garden, and I am not sure about their Croatian name – muscari as well? Shame on me. Pink and white. Red. “Blushing is the colour of virtue”, the tulip says. Interesting. The tree of life, as we used to call it when I was a kid. My uncle sailed the seas around the world and he would always bring very interesting things home. One of those were mini-logs such as these. The log is then put in a vase and – it returns to life, grows roots and opulent leaves! It can live like that, in water, or it can, of course, be planted. Palm trees, cyclamen, peonies… Klompen. Clogs. What are they doing at the flower market? Well, they can act as flower pots. You might want to nail them to a wall and plant flowers in them. Tulip bulbs. Yellow! Colours! Tulips in the sun. I am developing a taste for pink! White tulips!

Cvjetna tržnica u Amsterdamu Posted on 22 veljače 2012 and filed under Razno. This post is also available in: English Prošli tjedan sam bila u Nizozemskoj. Nizozemsku jako volim, mnogo je razloga, zašto i što sve, drugom prigodom. Bila sam na jugu, u pokrajini Limburg, posjetila prijatelje u Rotterdamu, onda se koji dan smucala Amsterdamom. Puno je mjesta u gradu na koja trebam navratiti kad imam priliku. Jedno od njih je Bloemenmarkt, odnosno cvjetna tržnica. Za nekog mojih sklonosti, cvjetna tržnica je mjesto gdje se mogu provesti sati, gledajući i njuškajući. Za početak, tulipani. Ah, tulipani. Ima li još koga da nezna da su mi omiljeno cvijeće i da moja privrženost njima graniči s opsesijom? Osim tulipana… štogod čovjek može smisliti da bi se moglo posijati, posaditi, staviti u vazu, naći će tu. Da, tržnica je i dosta turističko mjesto, i nešto je ponude – i cijena, rekla bih, tome prilagođeno, ali turist sam i sama, pa bolje da šutim. A o cijenama… Na ovoj cvjetnoj tržnici 50 tulipana se može kupiti za 10 do 7,50 EUR, ovisno o poziciji dućana. Kojih četrdesetak minuta hoda dalje, na Albert Cuyp tržnici, mogu se kupiti za 5 EUR. Što će reći, cijena jednog tulipana je od 0,10 do 0,20 EUR. Cijena jednog tulipana u Zagrebu je nešto više od 1 EUR. Nešto razlike je jasno, Nizozemska, tulipani, Hrvatska, transport, dadžbine, itd. Ali deset puta viša cijena? Deset? Ok, ovo nije priča o mojoj frustraciji cijenama tulipana u Zagrebu. Koja ionako prestane kada dođe proljeće i svoju potrebu za tulipanima zadovoljavam gledajući koju stotinu njih u vrtu. Ovo nije niti post o krpicama i šivanju, barem ne direktno. Ovo je galerija prizora s tržnice cvijeća u Amsterdamu. Nadam će vam se sviđati! Amsterdam Bloemenmarkt – amsterdamska tržnica cvijeća. More tulipana. Ulaz u jednu od trgovina… trgovine su dalje duboke i puni sadnica, sjemena, svega vezanog uz vrtlarenje. I suvenira. Ljiljani i grane. Amarilis. Predivan veliki cvijet. Sadi se u teglu tako da se četvrtina ili trećina lukovice ostavi iznad zemlje. Kada kroz tjedan-dva stapka počne izlaziti, raste po više od centimetar dnevno. Svjedočila! Bubrenje pupoljka i otvaranje cvijeta spektakl je za sebe! Lukovice amarilisa. Ozbiljne su veličine! I ne, ovo nije u dućanu s prethodne slike, u ovom je bilo dozvoljeno dirati lukovice. Muscari. Rastu u mom vrtu, a ja nisam sigurna kako ih zovemo na hrvatskom – isto tako? Sram me bilo. Ružičasto i bijelo. Crveni. “Rumenilo je boja vrline”, kaže tulipan. Interesantno. Drvo života. Barem smo ga mi tako zvali kad sam bila klinka. Moj stric je plovio morima oko svijeta i uvijek bi s puta donio jako interesantnih stvari. Jedna od njih je znala biti ovakva mini-cjepanica. Koja se stavi jednim krajem u vodu i – oživi, pusti korijenje i prolista raskošnim lišćem. Može živjeti tako u vodi, a može se naravno i posaditi. Palme, ciklame, božuri… Klompen. Klompe. Što rade na tržnici cvijeća? E pa, mogu imati ulogu tegli. Npr. zakuca ih se na zid i posadi cvijeće u njih! Lukovice tulipana. Žuti! Boje. Tulipani na suncu. Razvijam ukus za ružičasto! Bijeli tulipani. Pozdrav! Mare
