Confederation Park saw tulips this year as well for the first time. Last year tulip bulbs were planted here after some landscaping changes. The bulbs are the new Canada 150 tulips, and they stand out nicely against spring tree blossoms, the Aboriginal Veterans Monument, a totem pole, and the Lord Elgin Hotel.
Today and tomorrow being Doors Open, I will likely be scarce, but will catch up after the weekend.
I like the totem pole and the Lord Elgin Hotel.
ReplyDeleteThere in your city is really beautiful park with all these tulips and flower-trees.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos !!
The totem pole is unique!
ReplyDeleteLovely Spring blooms and I like the totem pole.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
I've got to come see the totem pole. How many are there in Ottawa?

An impressive monument/totem pole...and especially nice that it's surrounded by all the gorgeous flowers!
ReplyDelete@Linda: I do too.
ReplyDelete@Orvokki: thanks!
@Bill: and it has a good setting.
@Jan: thanks!
@Janis: one can find totem poles here and there... especially at the history museum.
@Lowell: I agree!
Sometimes when I open your blog, I feel as though I'm in Holland. Great photos of spectacular flowers, as usual!
ReplyDeleteIt is a grand time of year, isn't it??!!

The Canada 150 bulbs are so beautiful! The full garden of them really stands out. I hope to get some in the fall to plant in our garden. I hear they will only be available at Home Hardware stores. Have fun at the Doors Open weekend.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful park! Love the flowering trees and tulips!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty!
ReplyDeleteSchöne Bilder vom Park und den blühenden Tulpen.

@Kate: thank you!
ReplyDelete@Jennifer: it is quite enjoyable.
@Pamela: yes, they'll be at the Home Hardware, so that's fairly easy for most Canadians to get to. The first part of the weekend's been fun, though we missed one building we meant to get to- they closed at two instead of four, so no luck there, but we went to several other places, with more to follow tomorrow.
@Nancy: I do as well.
@Sharon: it is, yes.
@Noke: thanks!
beautiful blooms on ground level and trees.
ReplyDeleteThe red and white tulips are very pretty!
ReplyDeleteThose tulips are perfect for the 150!
ReplyDeleteYou must have a tulip army responsible for planting all those. :-)
ReplyDeleteThey seem to be able to place the tulips so that they show very nicely.
ReplyDeletelove the fencing. so pretty. fairy like is my 1st thought. ( :
ReplyDeleteOnce again, the tulips look grand - and especially love the view in the first photo of the blossoming tree too.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy Doors Open. It certainly doesn't seem a hardship to walk around Ottawa these days.
ReplyDeleteHave a great Doors Open and thank you for sharing all the marvelous sights with us.
ReplyDeleteThe pictures of the totem pole between the tulips are my favourites today. We won't see that combination overhere.
ReplyDelete@Tex: indeed.
ReplyDelete@Marleen: I agree.
@RedPat: that they are.
@Revrunner: the planting crews do good work.
@Red: they do!
@Beth: thanks!
@Gemma: thank you.
@Kay: it's not, no.
@Denise: you're welcome.
@Jan: here it makes for a good sight.
I love the monuments almost as much as I love the tulips....
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteI truly think you live in a very blissful city. So clean and everything else for picture takes so masculine displaced be it Spring, Fall or winter.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
