Are these even Tulips?

 In various rows of the Tulip fields there were some mighty unusual Tulips.  I had no idea that Tulips like these even existed!  I just can't wrap my head around these as Tulips, but they are bright and colourful!


Of course there were some 'normal' Tulips to be seen too.  Getting close-ups is harder than you'd think though because the paths between the rows had shallow ditches down each side, preventing me from getting too close.


And finally I bring you one of those rare selfies just to prove I was really there.  Hope you've enjoyed our Tulip fields!

  1. I have a couple of those double tulips, and years ago I had the prettiest fringed tulip. But seeing a field full of them, wow!
    Nice selfie! Always a pleasure to see the faces of my blog friends.

  3. Great to see you there in person, and the close ups, showing nature in the most intricate designs. Those first blooms, what a delight to see ruffles, frills and more.

  10. The flowers in the first few pictures don't look like tulips to me either, the later ones are really pretty. Your well-used hat looks a lot like the one I wear most days, well-used minds shelter beneath similar chapeaus.
