Time For Some Tulips

I've managed to get to the Cambridge University's Botanic Gardens in each month so far this year and hope to continue this throughout 2016, whether I make it or not remains to be seen - I'm not the greatest at sticking to my plans and tend to veer off in unexpected directions. 

 Anyway here's March's instalment in the life of the Gardens, focussing particularly on the display of tulips in the glasshouses.




























Of course, I wandered around outside too and I might just find some more pictures in a day or two......
Take care.

    The cheerful smiles of the luminous and colorful tulips! I like all of your tulip photos here, which made me hardly able to wait to take some photos of tulip myself at my planned place, though I could veer off spontaneously. Prior to that, I’m restless and excited to go for Sakura (cherry blossoms)in their ephemeral bloom for the time being.

    There is nothing quite as spectacular as a good display of tulips - they are such beautiful colours aren't they John.

    That's a great variety, and in all stages of bloom.

    I especially like no. 5 and the last one, but, of course, all the tulips are attractive and cheerful.

    What a lovely array of tulips, John, - our early outside bulbs have bloomed, and the mid-seasons are about to burst forth. Such a wonderful promising season....

    Hello John - my first visit to your blog.
    I've seen your name around many of the blogs I visit and when I saw tulips (I love tulips) - I thought I must pay you and your blog a visit.

    You really have photographed a lovely array and gorgeous colours too.

    Hope the weekend is a good one for you.

    All the best Jan
