We started off at Roozengaarde which has some of the most beautiful tulip gardens I have ever seen. I can't believe all of the different colors, shapes and sizes of tulips we saw.

Unknown VarietyThere was one tulip called Red Riding Hood. Look at the variegation in the leaves. Wonderful! The flower itself wasn't in bloom though.
Roozengaarde was not strickly limited to tulips. They had plenty of daffodils and hyacinths as well as other flowering shrubs and plants.

The tulips were just so pretty. Pictures don't capture the beauty of it all. It's one of those things that are better in person.

Wow! That's a lot of tulips! The places I've been so far this spring only have small gardens with a mixture of tulips. Nothing to sneeze at, but nothing compared to this.
Oh...I'm so jealous! Those are beautiful! You caught those beauties at just the perfect time!

It was worth the visit--yes? I hope your Mother enjoyed the ride.
