This bed of tulips at Dow's Lake are called sanne.
The way sun lights up tulips in these flowerbeds works wonders.
The red tulips in this bed are called Canadian Liberators. They're mixed in with some white tulips. The series of panels I showed you early on in this series are on the far side of the tulip bed.
I leave off with this bed of tulips further along in Commissioner's Park.
I have more tulips yet to come, but tomorrow is a City Daily Photo Theme Day, and I'm going in a different direction for that post.
That first photo is wonderful, it goes for miles and miles!
ReplyDeleteWWI Thank You for Canadian Liberators, no doubt!

Reminds me of the sage old advice of planting tulips and daffodils in en masse. They just bring such great beauty to a city.
ReplyDeleteI love these beds. Thanks for sharing them. I'm just catching up on my gardening after our week out west. A trip to the city just wasn't in the cards!
ReplyDelete@Linda: there are a lot of them!

ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment today. We've been using our sliding deck door more often than usual because of the nest at the front door. She's pretty much taken over the porch. :-)
I'm thinking I will have to go up to Ottawa one May to see these beauties in person!
ReplyDeleteThese are really lovely.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you could have found some 'zesty' tulips! The ocean is quite overwhelming!
ReplyDeleteI have written this some days ago, but I really thonk I've never seen so many tulips somewhere. Perhaps I should visit the Keukenhof sometime, and even then it's probably the question where the most tulips are ...
ReplyDeleteI've looked it op meanhwile: at the Keukenhof are 7 million flowers, not only tulips but also crocusses, daffodils, hyacinths and many other flowers.
DeleteThe tulips up there are amazingly long-lived.
ReplyDeletethat is beautiful! I love tulips!
ReplyDeleteYou have shown us such wonderful varieties! Love them all.
ReplyDeleteWow, you are lucky to have seen this.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
A beautiful place on our planet.
@Deb: thank you.
ReplyDelete@RedPat: if you ever come, let me know.
@Luis: that they are.
@Ciel: thank you!
@Jan: we get a million tulips here, so Keukenhof outdoes us.
@Jack: that they are.
@Hilary: so do I.
@Jose: so do I.
@Gunn: you're welcome.
