Commissioners Park is at Dow's Lake, and is the largest site in the national capital area for tulips during the festival. I came down early in the month, finding that some of the tulips were starting to show colours. I started at the northwest end of the park.
Grape hyacinth, or muscari, is often planted as a companion flower to tulips.
The next bed beckoned me on, most of the tulips just starting to show some colour, but not yet in their glory.
A very beautiful start to the season.
ReplyDeleteAnd more of that to be seen.
DeleteThe season is just starting...
ReplyDeleteIndeed.
DeleteGreat to see, but, and I will only say this once, you really should have a DSLR, or a mirrorless camera.
ReplyDeleteI should.
DeleteSoon the splendour will come.
ReplyDeleteIt was different when I came by on Tuesday.
DeleteThere's always such a fine show of tulips in your city. I think our tulips are just about coming to an end, despite the cool weather we've had lately.
ReplyDeleteOurs will probably peak in the next few days.
DeleteThe tulips come and go quickly.
ReplyDeleteThey do.
Delete...a park is a fabulous destination!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely.
DeleteI hope you will enjoy the tulips in the days and weeks ahead.
ReplyDeleteDays ahead, but it'll be weeks on my blog.
DeleteShy blooms starting. Cant wait for the full blooms altogether
ReplyDeleteLots to come.
DeleteI wondered what the clumps of grassy stuff were...apparently Hyacinths!
ReplyDeleteLook close for the purple!
DeleteVery nice.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteI think the heat we are to get today will mean the end for a lot of our tulips.
ReplyDeleteI hope to photograph through Wednesday.
DeleteA lot of tulips!
ReplyDeleteA million get planted.
DeleteBeauty for the eyes.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteLovely to see nature beginning to wake once again.
ReplyDeleteIt is.
DeleteI enjoy tulips but hyacinths are my favourites.
ReplyDeleteThey stand out.
DeleteLovely series of photos of the 'blooms' in the park ~
