On The Path
More from Commissioners Park today, with the end of my first stroll through here. I will be back here again with more tulips, but we're going to other locations first.
I love the variety of colours!
ReplyDeleteMust be like walking in a dream
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've seen light lavender tulips before. Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteNice to see there are some common grape hyacinths blooming between the tulips.

The the color of the tulips in the first and second shots. So pale and pretty.
ReplyDelete@Nancy: it is!
ReplyDelete@Beth: the grape hyacinths are such a pretty addition to the flower beds.
@Lowell: flowers are a great way to see in the spring.

Such a nice walk, William.

A bit unusual colours for tulips today :)
ReplyDeleteI like just these colors in tulip. These are beautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful soft colours, William!
ReplyDelete@Linda: I've long since lost track of how many times I've walked through that park.
ReplyDelete@MB: indeed!
@Karl: and more unusual of that to come.
@Orvokki: thank you!
@RedPat: indeed.
I thought the blue flowers were hyacinths. I raised them in Washington.
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL!
ReplyDeleteOh, they're coming along so nicely! I do love your tulips!
ReplyDeleteI had no idea tulips came in so many different colors!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!
ReplyDelete@Mari: they were marked as grape hyacinths.
ReplyDelete@Tammie: thanks!
@Kay: I do
@Norma: there are a lot of colours.
@Cheryl: they certainly are!
I usually think of tulips as having strong, bright colours, but these softer tones are most appealing.
ReplyDeleteI agree.
