Tulip Beds And Park Landmarks

 We carry on at Major's Hill Park with the tulips at the north end of the park. This bed lies across from the glass tower at the National Gallery.


A look over towards the other beds at this end of the park. The American embassy looms in the background.


I walked towards those beds. Notre Dame stood in the background here.


One more shot for today. This looks from these beds back towards the Gallery.

    More beautiful blooms. It was unusual to see flowers planted in coloured rows like that at one time, probably because it looked too much like commercial flower growing, but it's much more accepted now.

    What I want to know is who buys all these tulips for the city. :-)
