Jacques Cartier Park lies east of the Museum of History. Here at its main entrance is a larger than life statue of the legend of the Montreal Canadiens hockey team- Maurice "Rocket" Richard. In May, the flowerbed behind him is lined with tulips.
On my way to the big flowerbeds in the park, which lies on the Gatineau shore of the Ottawa River, I noticed this lone tulip. Brought this way, perhaps, by squirrel gardeners.
There are two large flowerbeds filled with tulips, on either side of the central staircase.
Lovely photos, William. I am not a hockey fan but I have always liked Maurice Richard and Guy Lafleur.
