A collection of remarkable facts about tulips
Tulpeiland – an island in the shape of a tulip adorns the shore of the Wolderwijd lake near the city of Zeewolde, the Netherlands
The construction of the symbolic landmark started in 2014 and its infrastructure is still under development. The structure consists of four islands, the main and largest island is shaped like a tulip calyx, the three other elongated islands form an allegorical stem. The island is observable on the map, as well as from an aerial view as a beautifully blooming lily-flowered tulip.
