Tip Toe Through the Tulips


While the trees weren't leafed out yet at the Arboretum, the tulips were in full bloom and absolutely breathtaking. The pink ones are called French Mix and border the walkways in front of Robin's house. The red ones fill raised beds in the formal garden. The stone cross overlooks the stream the flows through the property. It's a very tranquil spot. Saturday was cool and windy, so everyone was bundled up as they walked the garden paths. The weather didn't dampen anyone's spirits, though. Other things in bloom included the dogwood trees and a few azaleas; irises will be next in line to pop.

Gorgeous. Love the bottom photo. Tulip season has already come to an end here and I hate when it passes ... definitely one of my favorite flowers.
