One thing about heading out to the Skagit Valley tulip fields at sunrise is that I shared the fields with the agricultural workers. They weren't picking the fields clean though. They would walk down a row and carefully select flowers for bouquets. However I did see several fields picked clean like this, and wish I could relay the reason for it. I do know that these farms dig up and replant these bulbs each year. Maybe clearing the flowers at once helps speed the bulbs to their resting phase?

Usually people post photos of fields of tulips, so I appreciate your different perspective of a tulip farm. Nice shot!
pretty neat!
I'm sure they know what they are doing, but it certainly looks wasteful.
In any case, a fascinatiing view of the tulip fields and the process of harvesting them!
