Rows of red and yellow flowers dance in the breeze at East Winch, near King's Lynn. Fields and fields of them are grown around the Fens.
But their blooms aren't destined for the shops. Instead farmers raise the flowers and cut their heads off for their bulbs.

Later in the year, they'll go on sale so gardeners up and down the land can enjoy a colourful display next year.
