Although it will be a while before the tulips in my garden emerge, we can enjoy these spectacular beauties captured at Butchart Gardens on Vancouver Island last spring. For more shots from that visit, here is the post.

It was amazing to see all the shades of red, orange and brown that would soon be hidden by new green leaves.
