Every May Ottawa hosts a
Tulip Festival in honor of the many tulip beds all over the city that bloom in spring. Bus loads of tourists come to view them. The tulip bulbs are a gift from Holland, a reminder that the Dutch royal family lived in exile in Ottawa during the Second World War.
I like to go to
Dow's Lake to see the tulips there.
I am always amazed at the variety of color...
... and shape...
... of the tulips in the many tulip beds.
How many of these are hybrids? I wonder...
Perhaps all?!
Amazing...
... and very beautiful!
