It's that time of the year again when tulips are blooming in the Skagit Valley, state of Washington. If you haven't been there yet and live close by, then don't wait! To skip crowds, go on weekdays if you can. This year, the RoozenGaarde display garden is unbelievably beautiful! I had a tough time leaving it. The Roozen family business is the largest in the world in growing tulips, irises and daffodils.
The weather during our visit was cloudy and partially rainy, but it didn't spoil the impression a bit. Flowers were fresh and bright. Vibrant flowerbeds and tulip fields attracted us like a magnet. It was an absolutely mesmerizing, uplifting and inspiring show! If you want to see how it all looks on sunny days, please check my previous posts about this festival. They also have general information about the festival and RoozenGaarde on the Tulip Festival WEBSITE.

This is so so pretty!!!! Tulips are my favourite flowers. I always put bulbs in containers in autumn to enjoy them in spring but this year the severe frost in february froze them all. Spring feels weird this year. So glad I see so many tulips all over in blogland. Thanks for sharing all this abundance of blooms with us.
ReplyDeleteBye,

This is just beautiful, wish I could have a disply without all of the precuations I have to take because of the squirrels and rabbits. I do it anyway, buying new tulips each year because they are so lovely.

ReplyDeleteTulips en masse are always one of the most stunning flower displays! These remind me of Holland.
ReplyDeleteYour photography is awesome! awesome! awesome!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful post! You've captured the essence of tulips perfectly- I really need to plant more bulbs this year!

That is amazing!!!! I may have to borrow one , or several, as my screen saver. Now I just have to figure out which one.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos! I've had the pleasure of visiting the Roozen farm in years past for the festival and seeing all those gorgeous bulbs made my 1/2 Dutch heart sing! Cheers, Jenni
ReplyDeleteThank you SO much for your comments! I hope you can come over for the part 2.
ReplyDeleteOh my. Gorgeous! Color over load.I see it on the pictures but I just cannot imagine so many beautiful tulips. I would hate to plant that many. LOL! Love those Parrot ones Tatyana.
ReplyDeleteGlorious photos of your wonderful day out with the tulips. I love them, but too warm for them here.
ReplyDeleteOh - WOW! That must be an amazing sight to see in person!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! All of those tulips together are just wonderful to see. The tulips here were way too early to be a part of the local tulip festivals.
ReplyDeleteTulips, tulips, tulips of all colors. Lovely. I liked a poplar line and a yellow tulips camp.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Scenic Sunday!
I love the newest hybrids the most - you would have a field day in the Keukenhof in Holland if you've never been there! They even have bluish/black tulips!
ReplyDeleteDear Tatyana.
ReplyDeleteI´ve visited your blog several times, but never been ´clever´ enough to leave a comment..... Amacing photos, and beautiful beautiful Tulips. Wow. It must´ve been absolutely wonderful to enjoy that many colours too. Great shots.
Thank you very much for sharing.
Best regards, Iris, Denmark.
The Parrot tulips are my absolute favorite. It's like God took a paint brush to each one. Stunning!
ReplyDeleteWow! Beautiful shots of tulips!
ReplyDeleteI am from Minnesota and we so enjoy tulips here, but I have not seen anything like what you have shown here. Thank you so very much for showing these wonderful photographs, they are such a marvel of God's beauty.
