>Tulips from Amsterdam – #318

>The Netherlands exports 40,000,000 – FORTY MILLION! – tulips a week. Sometimes I think their entire production ends up in our house.

A week has 7 days, 168 hours, 10080 minutes, 604800 seconds.

That’s 66 tulips a second.

The bunch of tulips currently in residence is 0.2 second’s worth.

The mind boggles…..
