There are other tulip beds here on the grounds of the Museum of Civilization. This set was on the west side of the curatorial wing.
While these tulips can be found on the east side.
And a couple of minutes away from that we have Jacques Cartier Park. Here at the entrance to the park, with tulips in the background, is a larger than life statue of the famous hockey player Maurice "Rocket" Richard, who played for Montreal.
Tulips can be found here as well, and I'll show you more from the park tomorrow.
Back at Dow's Lake, we have this panel. Tomorrow I'll be showing you the final panel in the series, but rest assured there are yet more tulips to come. Assuming you're not getting sick to death of them by now.
Ah, the wonderful Maurice Richard! This is great!
ReplyDeleteNow there's a contrast... hockey and tulips.
ReplyDeleteLovely colours again, William. And I like the statue!
ReplyDeleteI imagine these splashes of color are quite welcome after the winter you all have endured.
ReplyDeleteTulips everywhere, William! I like very much the 4th shot.
ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday!
I'm beginning to think Ottawa is just one big tulip park! It sure is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIn Spain there is a saying: "a sweet not sour to anyone". The tulips always are
ReplyDeletevery, very beautiful.

Your angle makes it look like he's about to take off, which I suppose is fitting for a rocket! :-) Gorgeous red!
ReplyDeleteNot likely that I'll ever get tired of seeing photos of tulips!
ReplyDeleteOnly one statue dedicated to hockey? Now...it can't be!
ReplyDeleteMy Dad and I watched him rip the ice on our old black and white set. Being Bruin fans, we cursed his prowess, but secretly wished he wore the the black and gold. GOAL!
ReplyDeleteThe red and white tulips made me want to sing the national anthem!

Love the tulips! We don't have so many of them in the South, I think, so we don't often see beds like these!

ReplyDeleteThe Canadiens could use Richard now - it is 1-0 for the Rangers as I type this!
ReplyDeleteI did not think Ottawa had so many tulips! All you need now is windmills!

ReplyDelete@Cheryl: they need the right climate.
ReplyDelete@Mari: that they are.
