More Tulips....

The tulips are so beautiful I just can't stop posting them. The first picture is of some tulips I picked and put in my house.
The colors are so unreal too.
Many artists come to the valley to paint the whole scene.
Bulb production is a huge crop in the Skagit Valley. Skagit Valley bulbs are known world wide---even in Holland.
