There are many tulip fields scattered around the valley, and two major display gardens. Each year we visit our favorite, Roozengaarde, where the displays are breathtakingly beautiful and there are usually bulb growing fields steps away.
This year we had to be prepared for rain, and it did drip and spit light rain much of the time, but that didn't deter us or hundreds of other flower worshipers from tiptoeing through the tulips.
I have made an attempt to cull and cut down my hundreds of photos, but nevertheless, be prepared for a major photo dump. To make up for it, I will now just go without text.
Enjoy.
Wow! Looks like you hit the tulip fields at their height of beauty. Gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteFabulous! Nigel asked if I wanted to do an outing to the tulip fields this spring, but I demurred, wanting to spend as much time as possible renovating my own garden. Thanks for taking and posting so many gorgeous photos, I don't need to go now.
ReplyDeleteWhat colorful displays. It looks unreal it is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteWow!
ReplyDeleteSo many stunning colors it is almost a sensory overload. Everything normal must look black and white after you first leave there.
ReplyDeletewow 77 photos, what a gorgeous display of colors, especially the blues among all the warm reds, etc. Thanks
ReplyDeleteI will be there on Friday, and I see there are already many tulips that have come and gone. But so many more for us to enjoy still! Loved this wonderful display of gorgeous pictures of my favorite place, too. :-)
ReplyDeleteYou've shown some spectacular arrangements in color!
ReplyDeleteWhat a ton of beauty. HOw many did you order for fall? I really want to see this someday.
ReplyDeleteOkay. A trip to Skagit Valley at tulip time is on my list!
ReplyDeleteTruly incredible! Definitely on the list of places to visit.
ReplyDeleteMy only improvement would be smellavision!
ReplyDeleteThese are simply marvelously gorgeous. I react just as passionately to the ranuncula fields down here. Thank you.

Ooooh. And ahhh.
ReplyDeleteDJan sent me and I am grateful to you both for the riot of beautiful colour.
And a big YES to your final sentence.
I've never in y life seen anything like this. The colors are breathtaking.
ReplyDeleteThis is so gorgeous, Linda. I'm now working on my Japan blog posts and caring for mom who got sick in the last couple of days of the cruise. It was scary the first few days we were home, but I think she's improving now. I just love tulips and you've really captured their beauty. I took 1,001+ photos of cherry blossoms so I know what you mean.
ReplyDeleteThe colors are just stunning! Thank you for going! :)
