Colours Wherever You May Look

 Here we have the front courtyard of the Global Centre For Pluralism, with tulips out in front of the sign. The building was the former home of the Canadian War Museum, which outgrew this location and went to its present home at Lebreton Flats in 2005. These days it houses a think tank agency for the Aga Khan.


A few blocks away in Lowertown, a home I know of has a lovely garden. Tulips were here too.


I showed you this terrace outside of an office building earlier in the series. Here we have it again.


And these were in a front garden in Little Italy.


Lots of gardeners take part. These are in Centretown.


I can't resist photographing these lilacs.


I conclude today in the Byward Market. These are among the various tulip sculptures around the city.

    It seems as if everyone plants a few tulips there.

    Such beautiful flowers. I wouldn't have resisted taking photos of the lilacs either.

    i do like it when towns take pride in how they look, planting flowers make everything look so much nicer.

    The tulip sculptures last a bit longer than the real thing. Great idea!

    I like seeing the blooms in the more private spaces like this too -- peoples' yards, gardens, churches, etc.
