Tulips Every Way | Fields, Gardens or Vases

Apr 18

Making the drive to a tulip garden, I was eagerly anticipating photographing them. I think Spring is finally arriving in Northern California, and so too is tulip season. Tulips in fields, gardens, or vases, it doesn’t really matter to me. I love them all and in every way.

I never met a tulip I didn’t like. In fact, for a very long time, tulips have been my favorite flower. There is competition for that spot now, but they are still right up there.

A couple years ago, I took a trip to Oregon to visit one of the tulip fields there. Acres and acres of tulips were blooming in every direction I looked. It felt like tulip heaven. I managed to photograph there for two days, and it wasn’t too much.

I don’t really have much else to say about these lovely flowers. Diverse. Colorful. Structured. Lines. Form. Beautiful! I love them all!

“Tulips every way - fields, gardens, or vases, it doesn’t really matter to me. I love them all.”

(Yes, you can quote me on that.)

To everything, there is a season. This is Tulip season!

Here are some of the many tulips I’ve photographed over the years… in fields, in gardens, and in vases. Tulips every way!

Tearing Out the Garden | Northern California Nature Photographer

It’s past time to tear out the gardens - both the floral cutting garden and the vegetable garden. (My tomatoes are going crazy!!!) After all, it’s November! But, each time I go out to the garden and assess what I need to get started removing the old plants, I see bees, ladybugs, and butterflies. I just cannot begin to remove their food source.

Tulips Galore | Don’t Mind the Mud

As I approached the fields upon fields of tulips, I was completely amazed. The landscape full of tulips seemed to go on forever; as far as I could see. Clearly these tulip fields had been well planned and certainly well cared for. But, the surprising thing to me was that they didn't appear to be commercial production. They appeared to be for the sole enjoyment of those who were fortunate enough to visit. Me being one of those lucky people!

My gardens still managed to show off this summer!

Last winter and spring, I prepared my vegetable and flower garden plots for the upcoming growing season. Nothing too big nor fancy, but just the right size to enjoy. With all plans I still just never know what the end result may look like. As well intentioned as I am about caring for my gardens, they sometimes end up being neglected.

Plan a Visit to the Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens?

The first time I visited the Mendocino botanical gardens a few years ago, it was in January. Many things were dormant and the weather was cold, windy, a bit rainy, and basically not a great time to visit. Make a plan to get that on your calendar - except I cannot recommend a cold, windy, rainy winter day. There will be treasures to be found for sure, but there will be more if you select a different time.
