This weekend is the annual Tulip Festival in Pella, Iowa (for you non-Iowans Pella has a long and rich Dutch heritage). Ames, Iowa on the other hand has been having an informal tulip festival for the last ten days, and here in no particular order are a variety of images I captured proving that the tulip IS one of the most colorful flowers of spring! Enjoy!!

i used to grow these; they are lovely when they come together
But try to keep out the squirrels !
Thanks for the beautiful pictures of tulips. However I wish to clarify that Tulip Time Festival is May 6, 7, & 8, 2010. Parades, street scrubbing, craft show and wonderful Dutch foods abound during Pella's celebration beginning the first Thursday of May each year.
