Marianne Williamson once said, “A tulip doesn’t strive to impress anyone. It doesn’t struggle to be different than a rose. It doesn’t have to”. Tulips, like each person does, bring joy in their delightfully unique patterns and shape.
During my visit to the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden, the landscape burst forth vibrant rainbows of tulip varieties. Each color singing its own magical note. All in perfect harmony with the supportive vegetation.
Tulips In Bloom
The Dallas Arboretum team are masters of perfecting the visual art of tulip landscape painting. Named by Architectural Digest as one of the “15 Most Breathtaking Botanical Gardens to Visit This Season”. They have well earned the title!
I was fortunate enough to capture some of this stunning beauty and hope that you enjoy the visuals. To truly appreciate the full beauty, of course, nothing compares to a visit in person.
One of my favorite spots was a section of the garden landscape with beds of white tulips and other white flowering bushes and plants. The effect is so serene. A perfect spot for meditation, contemplation or simply to sit, relax and enjoy the tranquility.
