Alright, it's suppose torain for the next 3 or 4 days, so there'snot likely to be anything new (except what I've already taken yesterday or today), so here goes. First, the best show so far this summer - the bi-coloured (red/orange) tulips.
Here's a picture I took yesterday when they were partially open (at least it's dif'rent looking than the 'closed' picture I took earlier this week)
Sheriff Roland:
Now, here's today's even more remarkable photo of those same tulips ...

Sheriff Roland:
Netherland's Royal Family found refuge in Canada during the 2nd world war. They have since created an unsurpassed legacy of tulips offering to our nation's capital.
"Many magnificent gifts were given to Canada and her people by the grateful citizens of Holland and its Royal Family, but none so lasting and spectacular as the tulips. The National Capital Commission, part of the Canadian Government, oversees the planting and maintenance of what has now reached close to 3 million tulips that have been gifted over the past 50 years."
