I'm starting today where we left off, with these tulip beds. Dow's Lake itself is visible in the background of the first two shots.
We carried on along the path, which took us past tulip beds with a mix of colours, and an assortment of accompanying flowers.
We came upon the circular bed of tulips, which this year consisted of red tulips mixed with the distinctive Canada 150 white and red tulip.
The peach colored tulips really caught my eye today!
