Tulip time

It's that time of year again, Tulip time at Wynyard on Table Cape on the North West Coast of Tasmania.  The Festival of Tulips was held October 12, 2024.  The main street in Wynyard is lined with Tulips, there is music, a small market, and eateries.  Many people come to the festival after winter to have a good time.

Table Cape is an extinct volcanic vent dominating the coastline close to the town of Wynyard.  Its 180m cliff drops away into Bass Strait and Table Cape Tulip Farm is perched on the top.

These photos were taken by me on one of our visits to the farm.

  3. Such a beautiful and vibrant sight. I like doubles of most flowers but 'think' I prefer the elegance of single tulips.

    1. Hard to choose sometimes. If I was buying some bulbs, it would be doubles and singles.

    but it attracts thousand of visitors.
    Most colourful indeed.

  8. They're beautiful and so varied in colour. When I was little I thought all tulips were red.

  17. É interessante verificar de como as diferenças climáticas são relevantes no comportamento dos seres vivos.
    Em Portugal, a época da floração das tulipas é a partir de março, em tempo de primavera.

    1. Different season, opposite sides of the world. We have been gardening, putting tomatoes in, a small patch in the backyard,, replacing shrubs that didn't make it through the mild winter, and that the wallabies and padymelons helped themselves to.

  19. Lindo seu Blog e suas
    publicações fantásticas.
    Aqui no Brasil, na região
    sudeste onde vivo os
    Girassóis são mais comuns.
    As Tulipas são raridade.
    Lindas as que nos mostra.
    Vou amar receber sua visita
    no meu Espelhando.
