Can't imagine walking around town with all those beautiful tulips. But it would be fun and I also like those sculptures. Looks like they're made of ceramic material.
I miss the tulip fest! They are so beautiful!!! :)
PS: I just finished reading a book called The Great Escape: A Canadian Story by Ted Barris. It's another recounting of the escape of Canadian POWs during WWII. But it's fantastically told and I'm sure you'd enjoy it.
Thanks for letting me know that the tulip sculptures are not left in the elements, William. And again a colorful post after a long and white winter. Happy Victoria Day celebrations to you.
Ah yes, Ottawa's tulips! I passed by some tulips today that were almost done blooming and wondered about those in Ottawa. Were they blooming yet? Thanks for the update!
These are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThat's a very cool sculpture.
ReplyDeletelove the yellow tulips - not quite so sure about the sculpture

ReplyDeleteIt's magical how quickly the bulbs flower when they are ready.
ReplyDeleteIt's the first time I see a scultura of a tulip.
