Callie and I headed out to the Tulip Festival this year. Kerry didn't want to go and I think Carter was busy and Callie and I had seen quite a few photos on Instagram so we decided we would check it out. Without going too deep in to the whole history of Tulips in Canada, I'll just say that there are quite a few large tulip fields in the Fraser Valley with one of the ones closer to Vancouver having an annual Tulip Festival though I'm assuming most of the farmers try to take advantage of the amazing colors that show up when the tulips are in full bloom. This location added a number of 'Photo Spots' including tractors, swings and even a piano.
We had a bit of trouble checking in because we hadn't received the confirmation link but it was a known problem and our credit card receipt was good enough. There were quite a few tulip varieties that I would love to get bulbs for but unfortunately there was no bulb sales at all. Partly because it's not bulb season but also because they are a wholesaler and just don't sell to the public in that way. They were selling the flowers so we brought a few home. My favorite was the 'Barcelona'. This fall I'll have to check out the garden centers and see if I can find it for sale.
