Polemi Tulip Season
Blossom
Next to the tulip field there is an apple orchard which is currently in blossom.
The Official Tulip Field
We've now arrived at the main tulip field. As you can see, it is fenced off.
More Blossom
The tulips in the official field are flowering, but are a few days behind those in the other field further down the valley.
Unkempt Olive
This actually works out well. The tulip flowers don't last that long, so if they have all wilted in the lower field there is a chance you will still be able to see them here.
Scientific Studies
If you are wondering what the sticks are for, they are part of a scientific experiment. I don't know what the boffins are measuring, but they have marked out various rectangles, and presumably they will be counting tulips within those areas. The question is, what is the significance of the various positions? Why would they care if one rectangle produced more tulips than another?
