I had hoped this tulip video my friend sent me would be of Ottawa's tulip festival, currently on. I 've seen the same varieties here though on a whole our tulip beds are larger .Except they had what looked like a tulip farm .Spotted some speciality ones I used to have before the squirrels ate most of my bulbs .Liked the juxtaposition they did with some .

A wonderful look at the beautiful tulips growing in the Skagit Valley, Mount Vernon, Washington. The tulips are in the fields of the Roozengaarde/Washington Bulb Company as well as the fields of Tulip Town. The tulip festival lasts the entire month of April so If you are in the area you might want to visit.

Just heard on the news that there are several million tulips planted around the city of Ottawa. Every year Holland sends several hundred thousand as a thank you for sheltering their Queen Juliana during WW2 . The hospital I took my nurse's training at was where Princess Beatrix was born. It was in the old 2 East wing . The bed was supported in 4 cups with Dutch soil in each so the princess could be born on "Dutch" soil.
