The biggest site for tulips during the festival is at Dow's Lake. I started one visit over at the grounds of H.M.C.S. Carleton, a navy reserve station, where tulips are found in a flowerbed at the entrance.
These big painted tulips were at the pavilion overlooking the lake.
I crossed over to Commissioners Park, where most of the beds are found. This one is less formal than others.
This big one is dazzling, lined with muscari as a companion flower to the tulips.
I like to get views from the ground up.
