Spring is just around the bend and everyone knows after April showers come May flowers. Check out some of the most brilliant displays of spring blooms around the world to feast your eyes on this season. We could all use a little color in our lives after this winter.

Mount Fuji, Japan

Visit this hot spot in April and May to experience the pink-hued flowers that blanket the meadows at the base of Mount Fuji. The sight is incredible to behold in an enchanting destination.

The Flower Bulb Region, Holland

Tulips are famous to the Netherlands, and there is no better spot to view them than the Flower Bulb Region. The historic windmills serve as a charming backdrop. This area is home to one of the largest botanical gardens in the world, housing 7 million flowers. 

Cape Floral Kingdom, South Africa

UNESCO named this destination one of the world’s 18 biodiversity hot spots. Visit Namaqua National Park to view spectacular fields covered with wildflowers. Blooms include the King Protea, the national flower.

Giverny, France

The brilliant, whimsical blooms surrounding Claude Monet’s stone house in Giverny, France, are an inspiration to many. They were an inspiration to Monet himself in his works, including his Nympeas paintings.

Mainau Island, Germany

This island is nicknamed Blumeninsel, or “flower island,” and rightly so as it features more than 110 acres of vast flowerbeds. Here, you can climb a staircase waterfall lined with tulips for a magical experience.
