… his world would look like this. The colors of these flowers are almost obscenely vivid and rich, to the point of surreality.
We are visiting family in western Washington during tulip season! Usually we visit during the holidays or the summertime, so this is a rare treat.
For better event and travel information than I can give you (because my advice would be “Call my mother-in-law, and she’ll tell you everything you need to know,” and I’m not sure she’s up for that), visit the Tulip Festival and RoozenGaarde.
I’ll let my photos* do the rest of the talking. You start planning your trip for next April.



On the left, our sons in 2004, which was the last time we tiptoed through the tulips. The boys were 9 and 7 at the time, and our family was stationed in Bremerton, WA.
On the right, these two parents in 2018, ages 51 and 49.
* I used the auto-enhance feature on these photos, but no filters. In person, the colors of these flowers are so vibrant and luscious, you may be tempted to lick them. I do not recommend it.
Wow! I’ve been to the tulip festival in Holland, MI, but I do believe this landscape is even more stunning. Love the photo ‘recreate’.
“These schnozberries taste like schnozberries!” These flowers are so cheerful, thank you for sharing this beauty with us!
Indeed. And you’re welcome!
Lovely photos. The reds are really striking
