Just across the border in Washington States they have a couple of big festivals to celebrate their tulip and daffodil operations and most people have gone there that visit us. Now, we are getting a lot of people coming who want to avoid the lineups at the border and would rather support a Canadian operation in any case. The festival's duration is always weather dependent. Cold weather does make them last longer, but they respond to sun very well as it makes for a strong bulb.

I suppose colder weather is better for the tulips' longevity as long as it doesn't rain or blow too much.Lucillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14414527658216916537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5133586152925723487.post-57182406386843461242014-05-01T18:30:03.422-07:002014-05-01T18:30:03.422-07:00Actually, I don't volunteer.

I...Your pictures are beautiful - post card worthy!<br /><br />I think it's great that you have the opportunity to volunteer at this festival annually and to see all the different "characters!" I remember reading another post where you talked about the visitors in detail and pictured the scene because of your wonderful story-telling talent.<br />Being able to flip the coin to see how the other half lives, keeps the mind open. <br /><br />We're all a bit crazy... which is okay if it's in a good way.Anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05387978411380039015noreply@blogger.com
