This morning, a truck filled to the brim with fresh cut flowers, potted bulbs, trees and shrubs left the world famous spring garden Keukenhof. It is now on its way to Vatican City where the floral extravaganza will adorn Saint Peter’s Square during the Easter Mass and the subsequent Urbi et Orbi blessing. The Right Reverend Van den Hende, Bishop of Rotterdam, was on hand to bless the flowers before departure. Keukenhof visitors from many nationalities waved the floral consignment off.
