More today from Major's Hill Park during my time there.
Along the path, some tulips were growing in among other plants. The work of squirrel gardeners, perhaps?
The last of the big beds in this park extends eastward away from the statue of Colonel John By, who can be seen in the distance here.
And here's how it looks from the other side, with the Colonel looking steadfast to the west.
Departing from the park, I headed down into the Byward Market, where planters containing tulips were found in an area of courtyards populated by restaurants.
Nice photos. While I marvel at the mass plantings in mainly one color, the multi color displays are a favorite.
ReplyDeleteLove the colour of the tulips in the first photos.
ReplyDeleteWhat a multitude! 🌷
ReplyDeleteGostei de ver estas belas fotografias.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e boa semana.

ReplyDeleteThe combination of blossoms and blooms works beautifully! Well done!
ReplyDeleteJust when I think you can't find any more tulips you do!
ReplyDeleteI haven't been to the market in ages! Visitors always come here and settle in. Well, the kids, I guess. We don't have visitors!
ReplyDeleteColonel By stands beautifully between the tulips.
ReplyDeleteThe colonel is well adorned.
ReplyDeleteThe Byward Market area is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThe scent must be as heavenly as the colors. Tweeted.
