Spring Tulips for Today's Flowers




The Spring Tulips at Butchart Gardens for Today's Flowers.



In May the bulbs are ready at the Butchart Gardens. The gardeners have planted over 100,000 tulip bulbs of every size, shape and color. When the bulbs are finished they have to be deadheaded and then dug up and stored for the next year. It was a cold winter this year with some snow so the bulbs were a bit late. There are hundreds of thousands of bulbs along with many shrubs and trees all with their spring flowers and scents. The gardens were started around 1904 by the Butchart family who were pioneers developing Portland Cement. I have to admire a family who have continued to preserve their garden and offer it for the world to see through many generations even in tough economic times. The gardens can just dazzle your eyes with wandering paths streaming like rivers through a wild fantasy of colors. When you leave you wonder if it was real.
