Can anyone tell me where a tulip field is that also has a windmill in the Netherlands?
Edit. I am currently in the Netherlands. We are staying near Amsterdam for a bit, and then by Gouda. We saw some beautiful tulip fields today in Flevoland, but are wanting a windmill as a photo prop with the tulip fields. We have a rental car!

Where are you? A few more details would help . Do you want a functioning windmill to explore or a photo backdrop? Are you there now? The tulip season is very short.

Ah yes, the (in)famous photo of the windmill surrounded by tulips. Almost all of photos you see of a windmill with tulips right next to it, are photoshopped. Near Schermerhorn there is a row of windmills with tulip fields in the vicinity. If you are at the right position, you can photograph the tulips with a windmill in the background.

Do you have more specific information? Perhaps near a location? Or an address?

This is making me chuckle; why haven't the Dutch haven't put together a "photo prop" of tulip fields and windmills in one place for tourist convenience? Dutch_traveler always manages to provide great suggestions!

Try Keukenhof, there is a windmill close to the flower bulb fields adjacent to this famous garden. However this are commercial fields for producing bulbs, ironically not flowers which are removed as soon as they are in full bloom. So you must be there at the right time, so a bit lucky. However inside Keukenhof many take pictures of the bulb flower beds with the windmill at the background.
