Last week Chris and I zipped over to Topeka to check out "Tulip Time" - a celebration of tulips in 3 different parks in the city. All the photos below are from Old Prairie Town and Botanical Garden.
Other items of note included a contorted eastern white pine, more spectacular redbuds, a weeping mulberry, and a lovely pink dogwood.
Oh, and there was this squirrel. Just sitting in a tree. Eating a nut. Pretending like he wasn't posing but clearly he wanted me to take his picture. So I did.
Gorgeous! Great shots, Carol.

Tulips are not commonly seen in the high desert, but how I love them. I once made a trip to Holland, MI when I was living in the state. Like a trip to the Netherlands, complete with wind mills and eye candy views of tulips everywhere you looked. It was one of the most spectacular displays of spring I've ever seen.
That pink tulip toward the bottom of your post looks like a rose! Could have fooled me except for the leaves...beautiful.

Beautiful! I have been gone from Topeka for almost 3 years and even though WA is beautiful I miss spring in KS.

Oh, that's gorgeous Carol. Thanks for sharing. We're heading into fall / autumn here in South Africa.
