In Flower: There need be no question in flower your min flowerd about the market for good flower photography. One of the big slide film dis¬tributors has found flower fanciers the most consistent buy ers of all among slide collectors, even though the pictures offered are strictly of specimen flowers. These cannot possibly have the same appeal as pictures of flowers grown by the buyer in flower his own soil. The only flower fancier who is not an eager prospect for pictures of his blooms is one who has never seen a color slide transparency of a beautiful flower projected. A close-up of a lovely flower on a screen is a sight to make anyone, flower lover or not, gasp at its beauty.
Floiver festivals are frequent in flower the flower belt between Haarlem and Leiden. When the tulips are at their height in flower April, every Sunday is Tulip Sunday. A National Flower Show (mid-March to mid-May) is held on the Keukenhof Estate at Lisse. Later in flower the season (not the bulb-flower season), two magnificent festivals occur. The Hague stages a bril¬liant Flower Festival (early in flower August), with election of the Flows Queen (parade) and with special prizes such as that for the best bicycle Decoration (open to children); and an Aalsmeer-to-Amsterdam Flower Parade (September) culmin flowerates in flower the Olympic Stadium, for the award of prizes. The floats are always marvelous.See Also The Flower Bastion:The Lalio Bastion is enlivened by an elegant year-round eating place called La Bottega. The Flower Bastion (Bastione Fiorito) is a summer dancing place, moon-drenched or stardrenched (occasionally rain-drenched too), where Trieste society, civiliai and military, gathers nightly for dancing just under the sky.
In the courts and on the bastions of the Venetian castle there is now a remarkable "evening life." In the Courtyard of the Guards open-air opera and symphony concerts draw up to 10,000 people on many summer evenings. The Round Bastion becomes, each summer, an afternoon and evening cafe with a glorious prospect.
