Morges Tulip Festival

Back in end April, we visited the nearby town of Morges for its famous annual tulips festival in a park situated on the shores of Lake Geneva. This is where we saw the dahlias in July.



The hundreds of varieties of tulips in neat flowerbeds ran from the palest bridal pinks, cheery sunny yellow, voluptuous reds, bright corals to brooding smoky amethyst.












It has been an extremely rainy spring, causing several of these heavy blooms to bend under their own weight.

































There's simply no better way to spend a leisurely Sunday than enjoying these gifts of nature. Pity we didn't have any luck planting tulips in our own garden this year although we did get some lovely alliums, lupins and irises with the hydrangeas just starting to bud. Hope you have a lovely weekend ahead!
