Spring is the season where nature blossoms from the deep slumber of winter, slowly progressing towards summer. Spring occurs from the period of March to the month of June. Tulips are one of the types of flowers that bloom during the mid-season and thus have a festival that occurs every year to celebrate the historic royal gift of tulips which was also a symbol of international friendship in the Second World War.
This festival is normally celebrated in the US, Canada, Netherlands, New Zealand, India, Australia, and England.
