Tulip Farm.

Welcome to my heaven. If you have read my Cherry Blossom post, you would understand my flower obsession. So why not venture my heart out and go to a tulip farm with my girls.Tulips are the spring-flowering of the lily family. They are the most boldly colored cup-shaped flowers I have ever laid eyes on. There are many distinct tulip colors that all carry distinct meanings. Yellow tulips are a sign of cheerful thoughts, purple represent royalty, and white conveys forgiveness. Learning about tulips, I have read that the "tulip's velvety black center represents a lover's heart, darkened by the heat of passion". Beautiful right? 

Since we woke up to a beautiful morning of sunshine, the girls and I found a tulip farm in Skagit Valley, here in Washington. Beating the traffic, we arrived around 11:00 am and spent a good two hours dancing with the tulips. Each row was filled with different colored tulips and to top it off, there were beautiful kites soaring in the clear, blue sky. 

These photos do not do this place justice. But I hope you can find a tulip farm before they are over. And if not, there is always next year. They are worth the wait. My eyes have never been filled with so many colors at once. 

Please enjoy these photos of a breathtaking trip. It's heaven. My heaven.
