I'm picking up where I left off yesterday with these tulips by the low stone wall from another point of view. The path carries on to more tulip beds in the park.
Here we are at the south side of a long tulip bed with a mix of tulips. In the foreground are two companion flowering plants- Muscari Blue Magic and Hyacinth Rembrandt.
These lovely Miranda tulips are in this area. They are neighboured with bulbs called Ivory Floradale and Mount Tacoma.
Beyond, the tulips are mixed together.
I especially love the whites, purples and yellows.
ReplyDeleteNever seen blue tulips.
ReplyDeleteThese all are so wonderful.
In this series I especially like the yellow tulips...
ReplyDeleteYour photos remind me of our visit to the Dutch spring garden Keukenhof, last month. All the flowerbeds are so impressive.
ReplyDeleteGostei das tulipas roxas.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e bom fim-de-semana.

Always amazing to see the tulips in Ottawa!
ReplyDelete...I need to visit Ottawa in the spring, thanks William.
ReplyDeleteWow! Every colour of the tulips is beautiful!
ReplyDeletearound here we have Hyacinth that grow wild ... gorgeous colors. ( ;
ReplyDeleteThey are all gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteLove the purple.
ReplyDeleteStunningly gorgeous planted like this here and yesterday William, I loved the purple tulips from yesterday and the blue, or are they purple? here today. Beautifully shown here.
ReplyDeleteFabulous!
ReplyDeleteI love BLUE, and liked the white tulip in the photo too.
ReplyDeleteHAPPY WEEKEND!
I can't believe that you're still finding tulips to photograph.
ReplyDelete@Linda: they are lovely.
ReplyDelete@Orvokki: thanks!
@Karl: me too.
@Marleen: it was a pleasure photographing this year.
@Francisco: thank you.
@Halcyon: it really is.
@Tom: you're welcome.
@Nancy: and there are so many kinds.
@Beth: the muscari and hyacinth compliment the tulips beautifully.
@Deb: they are indeed.
@Whisk: so do I.
@Grace: purple. The muscari and hyacinth are quite different from tulips, but are often used in tandem with tulips.
@Lauren: indeed!
@Gunn: thanks!
@Red: I finished photographing on Monday, when the festival ended, but I'll have tulip shots for some time to come. There are still a good many tulips in fine shape, including the Canada 150 blooms.
More gorgeous flowers. I wonder how many tulips you've shown us!
ReplyDeleteI love the hyacinth. That's a nice addition.
ReplyDeleteWonderful colours.
ReplyDeleteThe blue tulips are pretty. I never seen one that oolour before.
ReplyDeleteThe cool weather must be good for the tulips!
ReplyDeleteBlue tulips look so cool. Very pretty captures. Have a nice weekend.
ReplyDelete@Lowell: I've shown a lot, and a lot more to come!
ReplyDelete@Sharon: it is. They often line the edges of a tulip bed with hyacinth or muscari, which provide such a good contrast with the tulips themselves.
@Jenny: I think so!
@Bill: thank you!
@RedPat: yes, generally. We've had mostly mild conditions in May. The real heat can do a number on them.
@Klara: thanks!
I think the yellow ones are my favorites for today!
ReplyDeleteThe Mascari Blue Magic and the Hyacinth Rembrandt photo is breathtaking!
ReplyDeleteOttawa does tulips so well.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tulips and photos William!
ReplyDeleteI'm from Kentucky originally and tulips are big thing there as well. People just can't wait for them to pop up.
I live on the west coast now, and rarely ever see them out here.
These are glorious. Did you catch a whiff of the hyacinth and mascari? That can be quite heady.
ReplyDeleteThe yellows will always be my favorites!
ReplyDeleteThey are simply gorgeous, I would love to be able to visit personally ...
ReplyDeleteYour photo's are just lovely to see.
All the best Jan
@Lois: thanks!
ReplyDelete@Mari: thank you.
@Jennifer: it does.
@Pat: here the climate is right.
@Kay: admittedly my sense of smell is rather underdeveloped.
@Norma: you love the yellows.
@Jan: thank you.
