Ah, charming. I always like those pink and white tulips so much, and parrot tulips also (I think that's what the ones with curly leaves are called, isn't it?). It's always amazing to me how almost every flower is beautiful - so much beauty it makes me feel quite dizzy.
Wow they are beautiful photos and flowers. We will be in Canberra at the time of Floriade. Do you have to buy tickets to see the gardens or can you just wander around ?
It's free entry into Floriade, through a main gate. The opening hours are Mon - Fri 9am to 5pm, weekends and public holidays 9am to 5.30 pm. Here's a link with more info, especially in regard to Floriade Nightfest - we haven't been to that but have heard it's well worth going. Floriade 2012 Have a great visit Diane :D)
Oh my goodness! I'm afraid I have to repeat what most of your other readers have said. "Simply Breathtaking!" How beautiful, they sure did brighten my day. Thank You Susan...and lovely to see you here!♥

Hi again...I wonder what happened. My internet has been acting up for a couple of days now. It goes on and off. I wrote a new post last nite, but it's not showing on my sidebar either. Thank you for posting my comment. Hmmm, I'll have to check into this!
Oh, Susan...how wonderful.....just what a poor, tired, battered, old body needed!!! Thank you for the lovely flowers.... the peaceful water and the beautiful colours... especially the pink tulips and lovely soft pink of the other flowers surrounding them .... sigh.......
Thanks very much Desiree - I agree with freesias being so easy peasy - PLUS they give the most intoxicating perfume!! Nor have I grown tulips, so it was a delight to see these at Canberra's Floriade :D)
Having major league internet connection problems Susan, so apologies have not visited often, but am thrilled made it this time... This Posting of Flowers is absolutely, utterly, exquisitely beautiful... I feel I am amid them all...
Better end before can't... Truly beautiful Post Susan... hugs xxx magda
PS reported problem... just have to be patient for relevant Towers to be upgraded. I was given option to cancel... so glad didn't... I would have missed this moment I've succeeded in arriving to experience

Absolutely gorgeous Susan. Enjoy. B
ReplyDeleteThanks B, I'm inspired to plant more flowers in my garden once I get a few jobs finished.

DeleteSo breathtaking! What are the blueish/purple flowers called? They remind me of our Bluebonnets here in Texas.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure of their name Cherri - perhaps someone else may know?
DeleteIn the meantime, Bluebonnets sounds such a pretty name and quite apt :D)

DeleteThat's beaut Vee - so glad you've enjoyed the post. Mmmmm, gorgeous flowers never fail to always be just the right pick-me-ups do they. :D)
Truly mesmerising! I have never grown tulips. I've not had success with bulbs in general apart from good old easy peasy freesias.
