We went to visit Queen Wilhelmina Tulip Garden a few weeks back. It was still too early to see all the tulips in full bloom.
The tulip garden was named in honor of the once queen of the Netherlands. For the Dutch, tulips became a symbol of peace and reconciliation.
Nice pastel tulip color.
Pink Icelandic poppies.
A view of Golden Gate bridge. It’s to be noted that Golden Gate bridge will no longer have real people collecting toll now. It’s going to be all-electronic tolling by end of March. Drivers who don’t have FasTrak can pay a one-time fee at a kiosk before or after the toll plaza. Or they can pay by mail after a camera photographs the license plate and sends a bill to the registered address.
And here is more info about Queen Wilhelmina Tulip Garden as noted by S.F. Parks & Rec:
“The Queen Wilhelmina Tulip Garden, planted just below the Dutch Windmill, features thousands of tulips interspersed with Icelandic poppies, which burst into glorious flower in March and April.”

It’s so nice to see your tulips post, I was just thinking about the tulips at Biltmore. If it’s not so far, I would drive there to take photos of the tulips near the entrance.
I do miss my Google Reader, I used to get a feed from your blog posts and now I feel so lost without it. I need to find another reader compatible to it.

Hi Nye,
I am starting to question Google these days. Always trying to change things up, some stuff are just better left alone. As of recent I don’t like how they changed Gmail. I would love another email provider too.
Biltmore tulips must be beautiful this time of year - good thing with blogging is that you can always visit your old posts and see tulips from previous visits.
