For some strange reason, I look at your pix and am reminded of the movie Dr. Zhivago, where the camera pans fields of daffodils. The tulips make just such an impression!
You are so fortunate. These are beautiful stands of tulips. They don't seem to grow in southwest Florida, and I drive north too late to see them up here this year.
Goodness. That's impressive.
ReplyDeleteWow!!!
ReplyDeleteSo how many bulbs are there in Ottawa? Does anybody know? So, so pretty!
ReplyDeleteVery effective plantations. And I love the purple muscari in the sixth photo. Your tulips are so much later than ours. I'm sad our spring is over.
ReplyDeleteWe are seeing so many tulips at the end we're going to his PhD in them.
ReplyDeleteTomás.
A veritable flood of tulips. Amazing.
ReplyDeleteSpectacular
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Willaim, I think I have seen more tulips at your blog then in the Netherlands this year. :-)
ReplyDeleteI think this is illegal. Why should you have so many beautiful tulips and we have none? Doesn't seem fair if you ask me! ;)
ReplyDeleteSoooo gorgeous William and beautifully shown here and in previous posts.
ReplyDeleteWOW!
