Garden of the Month, June 2002
Floriade--outside 
Every 10 years an international flower show is held in Holland, the Floriade.
This year, near Amsterdam and Schipol airport, about 3 dozen countries
are represented on the almost 200 acres, divided into 3 sections.
The key feature is a pyramid from which most can be seen. These sample
photos are from late April outside show gardens.
