Part of The Netherlands is transformed into a vast sea of flowers from mid March to mid May. It starts with crocus (saffron plant) season in March, followed by daffodils and hyacinths.

Finally the tulips show their gorgeous colors, from mid April through the first week of May. A floral paradise for true flower enthusiasts.

We all think we know where the tulip comes from. Tulips are one of the iconic symbols of Holland and although Holland are the largest producer of tulip bulbs and flowers, the flower actually originated in Turkey, where they grow in the wild. Tulips were brought to Holland, via Great Britain, in the late 1500s.

Tulipa is the Latin word for tulip which is derived from Tulipan, meaning "turban". They are called this because of the shape the tulip flower has.

The Boston Marathon Bombing was a terrorist attack that occurred on April 15, 2013, when two bombs went off near the finish line of the Boston Marathon, killing three spectators and wounding more than 260 other people.

After an intense manhunt, police captured one of the bombing suspects, 19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, whose older brother and fellow suspect, 26-year-old Tamerlan Tsarnaev, died following a shootout with law enforcement.

Investigators concluded that the Tsarnaevs, who spent part of their childhood in the former Soviet republic of Kyrgyzstan, planned and carried out the attack on their own and were not connected to any terrorist groups.

It has been 10 years since the bombing.

This year, the Boston Marathon will be held on Monday, April 17, 2023
