Tulip Time, Public Garden, Boston, Massachusetts, USA

The blooming magnolias and cherry trees have slowly given way to the tulips. Thousands of bulbs are sprouting in the Public Garden on this beautiful weekend visit (April 24th).



The blooms are popular for portraits.



And you can pick your preferred color.

The parks folks plant 25,000 or so bulbs every November to get ready to delight us in spring - and they've done so every year since the 1840's.
