Best place I know of in the U.S. is the Holland, Michigan Tulip Festival. Millions of 'em. Not exaggerating. Here is a shot of their famous windmill, sans the tulips (out of season when we were there a couple years ago).

Next to that, and more local to me in Illinois, and quite a lot smaller of a festival... The Long Grove Chocolate Festival. Not billed at that one is the Tulips, which the downtown has planted everywhere. In fact, I think it's a law there or something. The chocolate ain't bad either. :D

So NYBG is the place to go this spring....
